The Yorkshire Regiment - Freedom of the
Borough
The Green Howards were granted the Freedom of Scarborough in
1945. This freedom gives the regiment the “right, title, privilege,
honour and distinction of marching through the streets of the town
with drums beating, colours flying and bayonets fixed.” This right
was last exercised in October 2004 to celebrate the Green Howards'
return from Afghanistan.
The Freedom of the Borough is a highly prized honour for
many regiments implying a long and harmonious association between a
regiment and the local community. With the recent
amalgamation of the Green Howards into the Yorkshire Regiment, the
honour was transferred to the new regiment in September 2006 and
for the entire Borough of Scarborough.
