Soldiers will then march down New Street, along St Johns Street, turning right onto Thoroughfare, left onto Quay Street and right onto Station Road.

In the evening following the parade, the 23 Engineer Regiment (Air Assault) will present a Beating the Retreat by the band of the Royal Engineers in Elmhurst Park, Woodbridge. Gates open to the public at 5pm.
The regiment was given the Freedom of Woodbridge in 2006.
