A plaque in honour of organ donors has been unveiled on behalf of the Harrogate Network for Organ Donation Support in the town's Valley Gardens.
The group was formed to offer support to those waiting for a transplant or following the procedure, as well as their families.
The plaque is in recognition of donors and their families for giving the "gift of life". Following the new opt-out system the group hopes more people will be able to receive organs.
One of the group's founding members, Kerry Morrison, whose daughter Lynda received a heart transplant 25 years ago, said:
The plaque has been mounted onto a lime tree above the playground in Valley Gardens. The Mayor and Mayoress of the Harrogate Borough, Stuart and April Martin, were invited to unveil the plaque to group members and families.
