Ilkley had to rely on its colourful flowerbeds to brighten up a dull day when the Yorkshire in Bloom judges paid their spring visit.
Members of voluntary group Ilkley in Bloom took the judges of the regional competition on a tour around the town, visiting the main streets, floral features and Ilkley Cemetery.
There will be another judging visit in the summer, before Ilkley learns in the autumn how it has fared in the town category of the contest.
