June Day Parade, Ceremonies on Common

The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts held their annual June Day parade and exercises Monday, as they do on the first Monday in June each year.

According to their website, the company holds a parade from Government Center to the Granary Burial Ground on Tremont Street. There, they lay a wreath at the gravesite of Robert Keayne, the First Captain Commanding of the Company.

They then hold a memorial service at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, and then proceed to Boston Common. There, the the drumhead elections are reenacted for officers and 12 elected sergeants, which is a tradition dating back to the company's formation in 1638.

WBZ reported over 20 visiting organizations took part in Monday's ceremonies along with the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts.
