The ‘Freedom of Entry Ceremony' is an old Naval Tradition that began during medieval times, where the City or town council confers the right of the ‘navy' to march with "Swords drawn, drums beating, band playing, colours flying and bayonets fixed" through the city. The right to march through is usually conferred with a scroll by the Lord Mayor. International navies are expected to participate in this event.
