The biggest-ever Haworth Carnival was also the best, say organisers.

Thousands of people flooded through the gates on Sunday, and glorious weather attracted even more the following day.

Groups raised thousands of pounds for their own funds by running stalls on the show field at Haworth Cricket Club.

The club again organised the two-day event, raising money for its own funds through attractions such as the beer tent and tombola.

A procession through the village on Monday, led by Halifax Marching Band and La Classique Majorettes, was well-supported by Haworth organisations and businesses.

Cricket Club secretary Gary Bancroft described this year's carnival -- the third to be held over two days -- as "absolutely brilliant".

He added: "Sunday was a nice steady day. We had really good weather on Monday -- when the procession arrived people just flooded in."

The procession featured floats by local organisations, as well as Keighley Gala Queen, along with classic cars and Fitness First health studio.
