The 'Freedom of Entry Ceremony" is an old Naval Tradition that began during the medieval times, where the City or the Town Council confers the right of the Navy to march with "'swords drawn, drums beatings, band playing, Colours flying and bayonets fixed" The right to march through is usually conferred with a 'Scroll' by the Lord Mayor...The Navy, in return, is bound to protect the city from any invasion or attack.
