The procession is a unique event that was traditionally held to mark the feast of St Wilfrid.
The origins of the procession date back to 1108 when King Henry I granted a royal charter to the City Of Ripon to hold an annual fair.
The past few years have seen the procession go from strength to strength and it now attracts entrants from all over the world to take part.
Here is a selection of photos from the day, taken by Jonathan Gawthorpe.
