The cream of the crop has been announced in an annual competition to find the most green-fingered residents and businesses in Ilkley.

Ilkley In Bloom enlisted independent judges to inspect the floral efforts of business premises, nursing and care homes and private gardens.

The competition - which supports Ilkley In Bloom's efforts in the Yorkshire in Bloom competition each summer - invites residents and businesses to compete in five categories.

The winner of the residents' front gardens category was Joy Grimson, of The Grove, whose colourful pots of flowers were judged to perfectly complement the style of her first floor apartment.

Other winners were Abbeydale residential home, the Riverside Hotel, Pizza Express and Optiden Ltd.
