IN PICTURES: 28 images of the legendary St Wilfrid’s Day carnival celebration which brought Ripon’s streets to life

Ripon’s legendary St Wilfrid’s Day carnival tradition brought the streets to life once again this year, with an entourage of 20 floats and a full day and night of fantastic free entertainment which kept crowds celebrating into the evening.

We have put together 28 wonderful shots by two of Ripon’s most gifted photographers – professional photographer Nick Lancaster, well-known for his exceptional shots of wildlife and rising star Nathan Ward, whose work was spotted on the St Wilfrid’s Procession social media page: https://www.facebook.com/stwilfridsprocessionripon

Both captured the day perfectly whilst the sun shone on the final Saturday of July.
