MEMBERS of the Yorkshire Countrywomen's Association have knitted more than 2,000 coloured jerseys to be used as part of the distinctive bunting lining the Tour de France route in Harrogate.

West Riding chairman Paddie Breeze initially pledged 1,000 knitted jerseys but members have produced more than double that figure. The group has thanked Ms Breeze for motivating members and liaising with Lynne Mee at Harrogate Borough Council.
