People dressed up in period costumes to show their love for the noted author.
The event marked the start of a 10-day Jane Austen festival that celebrates the 19th century author who lived in the city from 1801 to 1806.
This year, the annual event coincided with the 200th anniversary of 19th century author's death. It saw hundreds of people parade through city centre streets dressed in Regency costume.
