IT'S an opportunity to shout from the rooftops about the great and good and last night at Welcome to Yorkshire's White Rose Awards in Harrogate they did just that.
The annual awards event, which is the largest celebration of tourism in the country, attracted more than a thousand people as businesses from across the county went head in 17 different categories – ranging from the best Yorkshire pub and holiday park to tourism event of the year.
