Two volunteers have retired after clocking up more than 40 years between them at a Keighley horticultural project.

Stephen Thorne and Julian Butterfield have each spent 22 years working at the Woodville site off Spring Gardens Lane.

They have been presented with plaques and certificates to mark their service growing plants, making planters and maintaining the site.

Mr Thorne, of Oakworth, and Mr Butterfield, of Keighley, started at Woodville when it opened as a training centre for people with learning disabilities.
