SIR – On behalf of the Bradford Bulls Wheelchair Rugby League Club, we would like to say a very big thank you to our last Lord Mayor, Councillor Dale Smith, and his lovely wife Margaret for representing the great City of Bradford so well during his time in office. His Sprinkle Sunshine Fund was an excellent idea which saw many organisations across the district, including ourselves, benefiting.

I would like to personally thank them for their support and encouragement on Friday, when we did the Bradford Bulls Wheelchair Rugby League Club Abseil Challenge. He did not have to take the time to come along and do this, but it speaks volumes about him that he did.

Although we had a damp start to the Lord Mayor’s Parade on Saturday, everyone involved created their own sunshine, the enthusiasm and effort that went into many of the costumes was inspiring and we were proud to be part of a wonderful show of city and community pride.

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

Our thanks also go to the amazing team involved on Saturday behind the scenes.

It makes you proud to be a Bradfordian and part of this great multi-cultural and multi-faceted City.

Gill Johnson, Bradford Bulls Wheelchair Rugby League Club, Owlet Road, Shipley
