RECORD entries and beautiful weather helped ensure this year's Richmond Meet, in North Yorkshire, was a roaring success.

Organiser Oliver Blease said final numbers had yet to be counted, but that it had been "a very good year".

The Meet, which took place over the bank holiday weekend, featured a dinner dance, a pet show, a fancy dress float parade, and a skateboard competition, as well as several cycling and musical events.

"More people took part in the parade this year, and there certainly seemed to be a lot more people watching it from the sidelines too," said Mr Blease.

"We had lots of comments from people about how good the event was.

"We were really lucky with the weather, which stayed warm and sunny all weekend, which definitely helped.

"All in all, I think people had a great time and it was a very good year."
