The march through Tolpuddle is the focal point of the festival.

Unions unveil banners for the march. Some banners are over 80 years old and have marched through Tolpuddle each year.

Among those marching behind the Community banner were General Secretary Michael J. Leahy, National Officer Roy Rickhuss and Directors Christine Hardacre, Jenny Smith and Steve Stacey.

Also, in what has become an annual tradition for Community, National Officer Joe Mann flew his plane over the march while towing a Community banner.
