THE 164th Great Yorkshire Show opens today (Tuesday, July 11) - with organisers promising four days of agricultural excellence and entertainment.
The show, dubbed England’s premier agricultural event, offers the chance to see thousands of animals while also showcasing a wide selection of businesses selling everything from cheese to combine harvesters.
The show is already a sell out and VIP guests include HRH The Duke of Gloucester on the first day.
Charles Mills, show director, said: “There is an amazing buzz of excitement around the showground in the hours before we open the gates. It’s very much a team effort as we all work to make it a superb experience for our thousands of visitors.
"The Great Yorkshire showcases the finest of British agriculture and the latest in farming technology but it’s also a unique social occasion and brings together town and country and young and old to enjoy a terrific day out.”
Rookie models Lizzie McLaughlin and Luke Johnson took time out from their catwalk rehearsals to check out the impressive 9700 John Deere Forager taking pride of place on the showground's President's Lawn.
