Longridge's Annual Civic Parade allowed new Mayor Rupert Swarbrick and Mayoress Katherine Swarbrick to be introduced to the people of Longridge for the first time.
The mayor, who stressed the importance of bringing pride back to the town, was joined by fellow Mayors Beverley Jones, of Ribble Valley, and Mary Robinson, of Clitheroe.
Coun Swarbrick said: 'It was a very proud occassion, and it was good to restore some civic pride in Longridge so soon after the recent unfortunate incidents after Field Day."
Another proud parader was the mayor's 101-year-old grandmother Margaret who had a minibus laid on for the parade, which started at the Civic Hall and finished at St Pauls.

Samuel Leon Wisniewski notched up a national title just two years after taking up the sport..
Samuel, 22, who is heading up boxfit sessions at Total Fitness in Lancaster, said: " The adult boxfit that I teach is really popular but it's for over 16s so a lot of the teenagers were disappointed that they couldn't join in. This new class is for them."

Chloe's family thanked everyone who helped with building including Gary Nodwell, Helen and Chris Haigh from Peerless fencing. Matt from C Thompson in Southport, Jackson Skip Hire, Billy Cadwallader for his fund-raising run and Tony Clayton.
