The parade left Church Street and made its way though town and up to Pannett Park.
The prestigious civic occasion marked the highest honour that Whitby Town Council can bestow, and gave residents and visitors a chance to recognise the dedication, professionalism, and service of the men and women of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME).
Town Mayor of Whitby, Cllr Sandra Turner, said it was a proud and memorable occasion for Whitby.
