A MEDIEVAL army processed through York and along the Bar Walls today.
The Sheriff of York, Verna Campbell, ‘raised her army’ to patrol the walls, in line with an ancient custom under which Sheriffs were ordered by the king or queen to ensure the security of the city
The army, many in medieval dress, processed from the Assembly Rooms to the Mansion House, where the Sheriff read out a proclamation.
It then proceeded down Lendal to the walls, led by local historian Keith Myers.
