Lucia Bridgeman, High Sheriff of Northumberland, rode to the northern perimeter of her Shrievality to support Berwick upon Tweed's 415th Cavalcade, a town boundary festival.
Crowds thronged the 17th Century Barracks to witness horse riders from Berwick and far afield in Northumberland accept the traditional stirrup cup from The Mayor and Sheriff of Berwick.
Members of the public lined Marygate as 75 horses and riders paraded to The Guidhall.
This tradition started in the 13th century, when cavalrymen rode to prove their authority.
In 1609, following the demise of Queen Elizabeth I and the Union of The Crowns, this tradition morphed into a social occasion.
It continued with breaks only due to war or serious public health issues like Covid, during which the route was navigated by a token rider.
