More than 250 pilgrims completed their walk to Walsingham for the 2008 Student Cross pilgrimage.

In doing so they marked the diamond jubilee of the very first Student Cross in 1948, making Student Cross the oldest pilgrimage in Britain today.

Despite cold and wet weather conditions - including a rare bout of snow on Easter Sunday - there were enthusiastic celebrations by the pilgrims at the shrine village of Walsingham, Norfolk, over the Easter weekend of 21-23 March.

2008 National Organiser David Ring said that it was a fantastic achievement for the pilgrimage to have happened continually for 60 years: "It shows that Christianity is still flourishing in today's society."

Fliss Cairns has been elected to be the Student Cross National Organiser for 2009 to replace David.
