THE SUN shone as more than 300 people gathered in a park to sing their favourite hymns.
Praise in the Park, run by churches in the Cross Hills area, near Keighley, attracted people of all ages to Sutton Park for hymns led by the Chris Waddington and Friends Band.
The Songs of Praise-style event also featured community band Sutton’s Got Brass and a choir made up of children from primary schools in Sutton, Kildwick, Cowling and Eastburn.
The Rev Rob Harris, minister of South Craven Baptist Church, said: “This was a fantastic community event, enjoyed by young and old alike.”
The Rev Helen Collings, vicar of Sutton with Cowling and Lothersdale, added: “We want to thank the children and teachers from our local schools, and the members of Sutton’s Got Brass, for all their hard work.
“Their contributions helped make this event really special.”
