Ripon is to see the return of its Palm Sunday procession.

The Ripon Cathedral Choir and Lily the donkey will lead people through the city streets and back to the cathedral for a service at 10.30am on Sunday April 10.

The procession, which marks Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem on a donkey, last took place in 2019, with a lockdown affecting 2020 and restrictions in place in 2021.
