Bettys Easter egg is a familiar sight in Harrogate each year but questions have been raised about what happens to the egg after the festivities.
Speculation has been circulating on social media this week as to what happens to the famous egg after the display.
Some Facebook users said the egg is disposed of once the festivities are over, which caused debate as to what should happen to it. Some people argued it should be sold or donated.
The tradition of the Bettys display is more than a century old. The company's founder Frederick Belmont designed eggs ornately crafted like the ones on display and a tradition was born.
It features hand piped icing designs and contains over 5kg of Swiss chocolate.
The Stray Ferret spoke to Bettys and a spokesperson said:

Disappointed Bettys fans can still purchase a 'grande' egg of their own for £375.
The eggs are made to order and are only available for collection from a Bettys store. Smaller eggs in the display are also available to purchase here.
