Yorkshire Day was a fitting day for the funeral of Harry Gration, the Yorkshire TV legend.

Yorkshire Day, on Monday was very fitting for the funeral of Harry Gration, the Yorkshire TV legend who died suddenly in June.

It was evident from the public who lined the streets as the procession passed and those at York Minster who came to pay their respects, that he was well known, loved and respected.

The funeral cortege passed down Leeman Road and over Lendal Bridge on its journey to the Minster where the service of thanksgiving was led by Lord John Sentanu, the former Archbishop of York.
