St Wilfrid’s Procession is held in Ripon every year on either the final Saturday of July or the first Saturday of August.
The event dates back to 1108 when King Henry I granted ripon a charter to hold a fayre and feast in honour of St Wilfrid, the founder of Ripon Cathedral and the patron saint of the city.
It was originally a modest horse-led pilgrimage but has now grown into a colourful celebration of the local community.
We sent a photographer along to capture the event.
Take a look through the best pictures in our gallery below.
