Berwick’s Civic Party led 130 Sheriffs and former Sheriffs and their Consorts from the 15 shrieval towns of England and Wales in a procession that took place in the town.

As Berwick hosts the Sheriffs’ weekend once every 15 years, it was an excellent opportunity to showcase the town to influential civic visitors from 14 towns in England and Wales.

Piper Andrew Smith led the procession from Berwick Guildhall to Berwick Parish Church for a service led by the Right Reverend Mark Wroe, Bishop of Berwick.
