    Starbeck Community Day took place today to raise money for the annual Christmas lights appeal.

    The free event, at Harrogate Railway AFC on Station View, included a range of stalls as well as a drinks bar.

    There were also donkey rides and live performances from groups including Starbeck Dancing for Wellbeing.

    The day also saw the crowning of the annual Starbeck community king and queen. The honours went to Ted Carman, 9, and Celeste Reid, 9.

    It is one of four events held each year to raise funds for Starbeck Christmas Lights Appeal.

    There is also an Easter fun day, a craft fair and nearly new sale and a Christmas fayre.

    Organiser Chrissie Holmes said:

    "We have to raise £8,000 a year to keep the lights going. They really brighten up Starbeck and the children love to see them walking to and from school on dark nights."


    Visitors could learn about the plans for Knaresborough Forest Park.
