The Royal Signals marked the 100th anniversary of its association with Catterick Garrison with a freedom parade through Richmond.
Soldiers from the Royal Corps of Signals based at Catterick marched through the town and paraded outside the Town Hall.
An advance party of Royal Signals personnel arrived in the Garrison in 1924 and the School of Signals and headquarters was established there a year later.
The Corps has been a fixture at the Garrison ever since with more than 130,000 Royal Signals personnel being trained there during the Second World War. The Freedom of Richmond was granted to the Corps in 1964.
The soldiers were addressed outside the town hall by the Mayor of Richmond, Cllr Bob White, the chairman of the Royal Signals Association, Maj Gen David McDowall CBE, and Rishi Sunak, MP for Richmond and Northallerton.
