The parade commenced at 2.30pm from Church House, on to the High Street, turning into the Square, then turning into Church Street and entering the Cornmarket and onto the pathway to the Minster.
The service was conducted by the Reverend Canon Andrew Rowland.
The mayor’s Sergeant and Crier Chris Brown, supported by the Wimborne Militia, were in attendance, performing their role as ‘protector of the Town Mayor and the Town from disorder and rebellion’.
