Fun, games and music were top of the bill across the district on Saturday when crowds turned out to enjoy summer galas.

In Eldwick, gala queen Grace Bell was crowned following a procession of floats. Among the attractions at Eldwick Recreation Ground were Looby Lou, pictured, a puppet show, fancy dress contest and a display of falconry. In Brighouse the fun kicked off with a colourful parade winding through the town's streets to the gala site at Wellholme Park.

Floats from a variety of organisations took part and among the star guests were gala queen Alex Millington and her attendant Laura Townsend, and BBC Look North weatherman Paul Hudson, who travelled with youngsters from Field Lane Junior and Infant School, Rastrick.

There was a fancy dress contest for people walking with the parade, and at the park a range of activities included a penalty shoot out, human table football, music from the Brighouse and Rastrick Band and Red Rose Jazz Brass Band, stalls, games and displays from the Calderdale Gymnastic Squad.

Nicola Gates, sister of Bradford's own Pop Idol Gareth Gates, was guest of honour at Newhall Park Primary School's summer fair. Nicola opened the event in Bierley, Bradford, and all the proceeds went towards school funds.

A million-selling singer was on the bill as part of celebrations at Calverley Carnival.

Paul Jones, lead singer of 60s group Manfred Mann, was at St Wilfrid's Church, Calverley, along with his actress wife Fiona Hendley Jones. The couple talked about their lives and Paul performed some of his best known songs, including Do Wah Diddy.

Calverley Carnival got underway on Saturday at Calverley Church of England School field with a mini Commonwealth Games, which included medals for the winners. The Rose King and Queen were crowned and youngsters from Parkside and Calverley Church of England Schools sang and danced for the crowds.
