The Leeds market town has drawn huge crowds for the annual parade over the last 20 years, and Sunday’s showing (April 27) was no different.
Sitting grandly on horseback, St George himself led the parade from Morley Town Hall and to the rugby club, where festivities and events continued throughout the afternoon.
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue brass band soundtracked the parade as it moved through the town, with youth groups, sports teams, historic societies and others also taking part.
