The bells of City Hall will ring out and City Hall clock tower will be lit up in red, white and blue for the whole of the bank holiday weekend.

In Silsden the pavement balls, which were decorated for the Tour de France Grand Depart in 2014 and painted with Union Flags for the Platinum Jubilee are being given a fresh coat of paint.
