YORK’S KNAVESMIRE is used to hosting top class sporting action, but it was the scene of an unfamiliar activity on New Year’s Eve.

River levels in York have dropped, but Knavesmire - home of the world famous racecourse, just outside the city centre - remains under water.

Local jet ski enthusiasts took advantage of the conditions to try out their sport, to the delight of onlookers.
