Thousands of people came out to celebrate the annual Sodbury Festival Carnival Procession.

The event marked the beginning of the finale of the Sodbury Festival and saw hundreds of people take part in the procession down the High Street from Chipping Sodbury School.

The Mayor of Sodbury James Ball was also part of the procession.

Sodbury Festival ran from June 14 until June 23 and featured a number of different events.

The events this year included, an Evening with Bob Champion, a Sodbury Players comedy evening and guided walks around the historic town.

Each year a festival princess is selected by the committee and they lead the carnival procession down the street.

This year the princess was Chipping Sodbury School student Maddy Peeling and the two attendants were Katie Evans and Samuel Parker.

Those in attendance were also treated to a flyover from a Lancaster Bomber.
