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.
