DARWIN Gardens was the setting for the unveiling of a plaque and a tree planting in memory of former fell runner Jack Bloor.

Following his death in 1984 the Jack Bloor Fund was set up to help young men and women to enjoy the challenge of the great outdoors.

The purpose of the fund is to provide financial assistance to help young people to undertake adventurous activities or to attend courses or compete in events which improve their athletic skills.

During the last 16 years more than £5,500 has been awarded in grants to more than 90 applicants.

Most of the fund's income comes from the annual Jack Bloor fell race on Ilkley Moor.
