Hundreds of people lined the streets of Warminster in Wiltshire to watch members of the 1st Battalion march through the town.

The Freedom of Warminster was conferred on the regiment’s 3rd Battalion last year.

But as part of Army reorganisation, the regiment’s three battalions were merged into two and the Warminster-based battalion, the 3 Yorks, was renumbered the 1 Yorks.
