Note
One spelling does double duty as past tense and participle, built regularly on parade with its final e absorbed by -ed. The meaning decides which participle constructions are open. The transitive uses, such as marching something past or through a place, allow a passive. Assembling for inspection and showing off in public are intransitive, so they take only the perfect with have.
The captured flags were paraded through the city.
The troops had paraded at dawn for inspection.
