Watched the two days of the Tour De France in Yorkshire on French TV.
I love this part of the world and it was great to see so well presented. Of course the good weather helped.
The French broadcasters were effervescent in their praise of the countryside and the turnout. Given that the programme goes to all over the world, the coverage of local landmarks, villages, churches, parks and stately homes was fantastic, and provided publicity for Yorkshire which simply could not be bought at any price.
From remarks made by friends to me yesterday, Yorkshire has made its mark. The guy who thought it up should be given a medal.
