Parish of the Immaculate Conception, Bicester, Oxfordshire.
Corpus Christi Procession.
Late 1950s.
Another Corpus Christi Procession makes it was down Priory Road. In the background is the old Regal Cinema. Walking immediately behind the First Holy Communion children who are scattering flower petals on the road are two Presentation Sisters in their pre-Second Vactican Council habits. The Blessed Sacrament being carried under the canopy is being led by two thurifers and is being escorted by a deacon in a dalmatic.
