There may have been clouds in the sky but spirits remained high at a number of fun events across the Bradford district over the weekend.

At Oldfield near Keighley visitors braved the moor-top winds for the gala yesterday.

The event, which was cancelled last year because of the foot and mouth epidemic, saw hundreds flock to the field behind The Grouse pub in Hare Hills Lane for a variety of attractions, including birds of prey on show, a fell race, a puppet show and a robot-wars display.

Secretary of the gala committee Michele Clayton said she was delighted to see so many people showing their support.

"Oldfield only has 159 residents but the gala can attract up to 1,000 - they come from all over. It's a very popular village gala because there's something for everyone," she said.

This year's event will raise money for village improvements, Manorlands hospice in Oxenhope and the Sarah McKie memorial fund at Airedale Hospital in Steeton.

Opened by Ian Clayton of Yorkshire Television programme Ian's Big Trip, the gala began with a processions of floats through the village after which ten-year-old Kirstie Hume was crowned gala queen and was joined by Oakworth's gala queen Heidi Lobley, 12.

There were celebrations of a floral and musical nature throughout the weekend at St Oswald's Church in Little Horton, Bradford.

To mark the church's centenary, the building was decorated with colourful displays of blooms for a range of concerts, a cheese and wine evening and other festivities.

Vicar of the church the Reverend Stephen Treasure said: "The church has organised a series of community celebrations over the past few years and we were delighted to offer our building over the weekend for the community to enjoy."

Original photographs of the first vicar, wardens and sidesmen were also restored for the event and former vicars came to the church to lead services.

And stars of Yorkshire Television's popular soap Emmerdale took part in a charity cricket match at Westwood Cricket Club near Queensbury.

The game, which was cheered on by crowds of well-wishers, raised funds for Manorlands at Oxenhope.

In Baildon, there was a bed push around the village (pictured).
