THE pomp and circumstance of the Golden Jubilee parades in London inspired this week's selection of pictures, which show parades in the streets of York over the years.
The main picture dates from 1971, when crowds lined the pavements of Blossom Street to see the Household Cavalry rehearse.
They were in York to accompany the Queen into the city through Micklegate Bar later that day, as she visited to celebrate the City of York's 1900th birthday.
Another shot, bottom right, shows a close-up of the cavalry approaching Micklegate Bar.
In the same year, spectators were treated to another spectacle when 160 Gurkha bandsmen quick-marched along Coney Street, towards St Helen's Square, where a large crowd gathered to hear a musical programme.
Money collected went back to the Gurkhas' families.
Our last picture shows some more local military personnel. Drum Major William Crook, is shown with the Corps of Drums, of the 1st Battalion the Yorkshire Volunteers.
The Territorials made a special visit to the Saddle Inn, in Main Street, Fulford, to celebrate the installation of hand-drawn real ale.
