Palm Sunday Procession and Festal Eucharist at Ripon Cathedral

A procession through the streets in honour of Christ the King, with two donkeys leading us as we sing his praises. Palms were blessed in the Market Square ahead of a Festal Eucharist sung by the girl choristers, choral scholars and lay clerks of Ripon Cathedral Choir.

A procession through the streets in honour of Christ the King, with two donkeys leading us as we sing his praises.

Palms were blessed in the Market Square ahead of a Festal Eucharist sung by the girl choristers, choral scholars and lay clerks of Ripon Cathedral Choir.

A big thank you to Long Ears Donkey Centre – Home of Blackberry Donkeys for bringing Teddy and Maurice who led us beautifully this Palm Sunday, as we made our way to the cathedral – as featured in The Times and The Sunday Times and the Yorkshire Post.

Thank you to our volunteer photographers Clive Trewhitt and Bill Swan.
