Some of the main city centre roads, including Birley Street and Church Street, were closed to allow the procession to travel from court to church.
Onlookers stopped to watch the walk – which took place in rather damp conditions in the October rain.
The tradition dates back centuries.
It was scrapped in 2014 to due policing costs, but reinstated in 2016.
