Among the many hundreds taking part in the event were representatives of a variety of local uniformed youth organisations, accompanied by several bands.
The event brought thousands of spectators to the streets, including mums, dads, grandparents and great grandparents, who came out to support the young people.
Photographer Tony Hendron was there to capture the atmosphere of the popular event.
