Re: Yorkshire Day Tell us what it means so we learn something Mr Yorkshire. Is it because they invented the Yorkshire pudding?

Re: Yorkshire Day Yorkshire Day is celebrated on 1 August to promote the historic English county of Yorkshire. It was first celebrated in 1975, by the Yorkshire Ridings Society, initially in Beverley, as "protest movement against the local re-organisation of 1974". The date alludes to the Battle of Minden, and also the anniversary of the emancipation of slaves in the British Empire in 1834, for which a Yorkshire MP, William Wilberforce, had campaigned.
The day was already celebrated by the The Light Infantry, successors to the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, as Minden Day. Together with five other infantry regiments of the British Army, a rose is permitted to be worn in the headress. In the case of the Light Infantry, the rose is white.
Amongst the celebrations there is a Civic gathering of Lord Mayors, Mayors, and other Civic Heads from across the county, convened by the Yorkshire Society, which has been held . so there you have it foxy.
Cheeky aren't I

Re: Yorkshire Day I think I have a nomination too, not for the thread but for Kazzy.
I nominate her for the Yorkshire Magic Pudding Award, also known as the YMPA.
I added a picture of a friend of Kazzy receiving the award on her behalf (she said she was occupied)
