Yorkshire Day message projected onto 73m high turbine near Market Weighton

The Yorkshire Post teamed up with Octopus Energy to send out a huge message for Yorkshire Day.

The company's 73m high wind turbine in Market Weighton was lit up with a Happy Yorkshire Day message from both The Yorkshire Post and Octopus Energy.

The light projection was part of a number of events taking place across God's Own Country on August to celebrate Yorkshire Day.
