An Olympic-style tournament, a celebrity chef and a mini town crier were among the attractions at yesterday’s Ilkley Carnival.

Thousands of people flocked to the event, despite rain, and organisers are hailing it as the biggest and best yet.

The carnival got underway with a parade featuring 800 children, reflecting this year’s theme, Summer of Celebrations.
