The Society also introduced the idea of a Yorkshire Day. Each year on August 1st a Civic Procession is hosted by a town or city in the county. It is attended by many officials including all the Lord Mayors in Yorkshire who parade in their full regalia. The choice of this date has historical significance for the county. The law to abolish slavery in this country was introduced on August 1st 1807 by the Yorkshire born politician, William Wilberforce.
