They then took part in the tradition hat throwing at St Mary Magdalene Church.
Principal Rachel Davies said: “We all really enjoy celebrating the success of our graduates, of whom we are so very proud. “Somerset College is at the heart of Taunton, so it is appropriate that the town shares in this wonderful celebration with us. “We look forward to a good turnout along the route as well as meeting many of the students’ friends and families.”
