Following tradition the procession gathered at the Malt Shovel pub, and made its way toward St Mary & St Helen Parish Church for the usual church service. The Scots Guard Association pipe band led the charge once again, concluding ultimately at the Royal British Legion on Chester Road, where walkers enjoyed Afternoon Tea.
