Sir – What an absolutely wonderful occasion Yorkshire day was in Skipton.

It was truly entrancing and went according to plan.

Hosting 260 mayors and civic dignitaries – the largest Yorkshire Day gathering ever, South Kirkby will be hard pushed to follow this next year.

I know our guests from Erquingham-Lys were bowled over and couldn’t stop expressing to me their joy to be with us.

Then the icing on the cake – the next three days of events. Fabulous! And how everyone loved the beach and all the entertainment.

Skipton certainly knows how to party!

However, it was all down to the extreme hard work of our town council team who had worked unceasingly in the months before planning and organising it all to the last detail.

A huge thank you to Dave Parker, Brett Butler, Les, Wendy and Jill, for all their efforts, together with the Ambassadors keeping us all in order!

I am a councillor on Craven and North Yorks as well as Skipton, but I am proudest of all to be a Skipton town councillor and feel so elated when I see all the happy faces because of the work of us all on this stupendous council.

Coun Polly English, Skipton
