GALLERY: Nidderdale Show brings down the curtain on show season
Despite leaden skies, thousands of people flocked to yesterday's Nidderdale Show.
The event, which celebrated its 151st anniversary this year, is organised by Nidderdale Agricultural Society.
It is held annually at Pateley Bridge Showground and marks the end of the local agricultural show season.
Last year, it was moved from its traditional Monday slot to a Sunday to avoid clashing with Queen Elizabeth II's funeral and proved such a success organisers decided to stick to the Sunday.
Visitors could enjoy a range of classes, from cattle and sheep to showjumping and pigs, as well as rabbit and pigeon displays, dry-stone walling and a band parade.
Here are some photos of the day in case you missed it.
