A BRADFORD Crown Court judge paid tribute to his colleagues and the city as he completed his final day in court.

Judge John Potter (pictured) has been appointed resident judge at Manchester Crown Court in Minshull Street. But before he presided over his last cases in Bradford, his fellow judges, barristers and staff gathered to pay tribute to him in one of the court rooms.

Judge Potter said: “I feel very sad to leave.

“Bradford is a great city. I love the place. The court staff here are truly wonderful.”
