The procession paused at St Mary’s before the crucifixion scene was enacted in front of All Saints Church.
Kevin Boorman commented: “It is a moving experience which seems affects a lot of people who recognise the relevance and poignancy.
“It involves local people and the local community and makes people stop and think, which cannot be a bad thing.”
