New environment secretary Steve Reed and farming minister Daniel Zeichner made their first visit as part of the new government to the Great Yorkshire Show in Harrogate today.

The Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell and Lord-Lieutenant of North Yorkshire Jo Ropner also toured the show, in what was the archbishop’s first ever visit.

TV presenter Adam Henson took to the cattle rings before heading to see the sheepdog trials, while Kelvin Fletcher and wife Liz also made an appearance as well as farming influencer Joe Seels.

A Yorkshire Agricultural Society award was presented to Michael Warren who’s been stewarding at the Great Yorkshire Show for 66 years.

Top pigeon at the show, the supreme pigeon award, went to Richard Henderson from Malton with a three-year-old black Nun cock bird. Richard has been showing at the Great Yorkshire Show since 1980 and this is the first time he has won supreme champion.

The supreme champion cheese title went to Thirsk firm Shepherds Purse for its Organic Yorkshire Blue. The supreme champion dairy title went to Ryeburn of Helmsley for its Mango Ripple ice cream.

The John Boddy trophy for the best woodland management in Yorkshire was won by the 4,000-acre Harewood Estate between Leeds and Harrogate, managed by Ben Lascelles.
