Timetable for today's Yorkshire Day Celebrations in Whitby
The Yorkshire Day Civic Procession has taken place every year since 1985. This year, Whitby Town Council is greatly privileged to be chosen by the Yorkshire Society to host this prestigious celebration of our beautiful Town. Mayors from the three Ridings of Yorkshire will be processing through the town to celebrate the wonders of everything Yorkshire.
The procession is a most colourful spectacle with Lord Mayors, Mayors, Chairmen of Councils and Town Mayors all in their ceremonial robes, Mace Bearers, local and national dignitaries and members of the Yorkshire Society taking part.
