An age-old tradition took place in Preston city centre during Tuesday morning.
The Judges Parade sees members of the judiciary make their way through the city centre for a service at Preston Minster.
Negotiating the damp streets they were shadowed by a number of anti-fracking protesters who shouted ‘disgrace, disgrace, you jailed our mate’ in reference to a recent decision to jail a number of anti-fracking demonstrators from the Preston New Road site.
The judges started their walk from the Session House and it takes around half-an-hour to complete the slow walk through the Flag Market to the Minster and then back again.

The Mayor of Preston councillor Trevor Hart lead the procession.
Judges from across Lancashire join the procession, not just those who sit at Preston courts.
Roads were closed for a short period around Lancaster Road and Church Street during the procession.
