St Chad\'s et la fête magnifique

A trio of local celebrities turned up in Headingley for St Chad's 'Grand Party' which celebrated all things to do with cycling ahead of the Tour de France.

Vicar Tom Lusty said, "It went brilliantly in the sunshine. I got into vicious competition on the static bikes (see right) with local MP Greg Mulholland (with onion string, left) and we were interviewed by Radio Leeds presenter Andrew Edwards.

"We were also really pleased that Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, Gary Verity, came to the church service we held. He's the man credited with bringing Le Tour to Yorkshire, and he used to be a choirboy here.

"But most of all it was great to see so many people turn out for a exceptionally good humoured community event."
