Thousands of people filled Watford High Street this lunchtime to cheer more than 200 soldiers as they marched through the town centre.

Residents lined the streets, stood in shops and hung out of windows to see members of the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Anglian Regiment, take part in the Freedom of the Borough parade.

And unlike the protests in Luton yesterday, there were no incidents or any disruption.
