Catholics took to the streets in their hundreds this afternoon to celebrate Corpus Christi.
Starting out from Our Lady Immaculate School, the custom saw priests carry the Blessed Sacrament in a loop through New London Road and Moulsham Street, before returning to Our Lady Immaculate Church for a mass.
First Holy Communion children, Tilbury Marching Band, Cubs, Scouts groups and parishioners from Catholic churches across the city, also formed part of the procession.
Last year's procession was the first in the city for more than 60 years.
Numbers were thought to be slightly down as the event clashed with Father's Day.
