Parachute Regiment parade Leeds: Every bus diversion as 4PARA celebrates freedom of the city

The display through Leeds will exercise their right to the freedom of the city.

The event will bring together 4PARA, past, present and future as they take part in a freedom parade on Millennium Square.

The battalion will be joined by cadets and veterans of 4PARA and will also be accompanied by the British Army Band Catterick as they march through the city centre.

The troops will march onto Millennium Square at 11.30am and will receive a civic welcome from the Lord Mayor, Coun Asghar Khan.

Following this there will be an inspection of the parade by the Lord-Lieutenant of West Yorkshire, Mr Ed Anderson CBE DL, the Lord Mayor and the Leeds Children’s Mayor Zulayka Hussain.

4PARA will then exercise their freedom of the city by marching through the city, parading along The Headrow and passing through Briggate and along Cookridge Street before returning to the Millennium Square.

Once there the Lord Mayor and Lord-Lieutenant will take the salute at approximately 12.30pm.

Lieutenant Colonel Rick Lewin, Commanding Officer 4 PARA, said: “The battalion has a long history and deep-rooted ties with the City of Leeds and its community, therefore it is a great honour that I will be able to present the 4th Battalion, The Parachute Regiment on parade this Saturday to exercise the freedom of the city.”
