Olympic golds 🥇 for Matty Lee in the diving and Tom Pidcock in the MTB. 🔥 FIRE UP THE YORKSHIRE OLYMPICS MEDAL TABLE 🔥 (please don’t 😅)

Pretty proud that Tour de Yorkshire 🚴 features fourth on this thread of incredible races. Our fan engagement was always through the roof; be it online or in real life.

Such a shame. A great legacy for Yorkshire lost. At least we’ve got the 5 amazing editions from 2015-2019 to remember. I wrote about my 5 favourite moments in April last year and I’ll miss iconic moments like these: letour.yorkshire.com/the-latest/5-i… #TDY

For anyone who was shocked & saddened to hear Boris Johnson say “never mind about cancer outcomes”, please sign this petition to get cancer back on the agenda.

Inevitably (and probably fairly) the 2026 bid will be for somewhere else in the country, but how awesome would it be to see it back in Yorkshire, 12 years on from the iconic 2014 Grand Départ? So many great routes available & a Scarborough finish would be so 👌

Really pleased to have been involved in the delivery of this project. 13 interesting and vastly different essays that truly showcase the impact that the University has on the world. Well worth exploring.

Disappointing to see this. Whatever your views on the organisation, the Yorkshire.com site paved the way for how destination websites should look, with a focus on dynamic & inspirational content. Now it’s being flogged off to the highest bidder.

Last week, we were able to help coordinate a very special reunion for a student's graduation day. Emma flew all the way from New Zealand to surprise her sister Kiera on the big day! 🇳🇿✈️🇬🇧 #ForeverLeeds

Sad to hear of the passing of Brian Robinson. An absolute trailblazer of a cyclist back in his pomp and more recently the most kind and generous man with his time through all the Tour de Yorkshire 🚴 madness. Always keen to bang the drum for Yorkshire. Thank you! Pic by SWpix.com

What a career 👊 My personal fave GVA moment was his TDY win in 2018 but there are so many to choose from. So long, champ. #classy

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,   How lovely are thy branches!     It might be November, but we’re putting up the decorations in Beech Grove Plaza🎄     Our famous 35ft Christmas Tree has returned, and it is certainly a lovely sight. Have a look for yourself while on campus✨
