People decided to take a break from the heat with a cooling dip in Ilkley’s outdoor pool as it opened for the first time this year on Saturday.

Anthony Gildert, duty manager, said: “It’s been brilliant. The sun has come out and things are looking great.

“It’s been our open day, so it’s a cheap day – £2 in, including activities like a climbing wall and face-painting.

“Everyone’s been having a fantastic time and we’re hoping for more of the same over the Bank Holiday.”
