On the day, the stadium came alive. There was face-painting, inflatables, live music, arts and crafts, kids’ games, and plenty of free food and drink. It was joyful, welcoming and proudly Bradford.

📍 Last Thursday, over *10,000* people joined us at Odsal Stadium in Bradford for our biggest ever community fun day. 💛

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Fill in the blank: my favourite place to visit in Yorkshire is _______.

I met a Yorkshire vegan who was training for a marathon and had just bought an air fryer - he said it all so quickly he lost his false teeth in the rush!

Happy Yorkshire Day 😎

Happy Yorkshire Day to all those who celebrate.

Happy Yorkshire day, Bluebs…
Also pinch punch… it’s August!

It's Yorkshire Day and it's a tough day for Yorkshire vegans.
