Climate activists to march through Harrogate
Climate change activists marching from Spain to the COP26 summit in Glasgow will pass through Harrogate on Saturday.
The group, which calls itself Marcha a Glasgow and has support from Extinction Rebellion Harrogate, set off from Bilbao last month and is stopping all the way up the UK during its 1,000-kilometre march.
It is due to arrive in Harrogate at about 6pm on Saturday.

Nine Spanish activists are walking some 30 km a day but people can join them for sections by emailing here.
