Speaking inside the Minster, former archbishop of York Lord Sentamu told mourners that it was fitting the award-winning 71-year-old’s funeral took place on Yorkshire Day as he gave the sermon for his “dear friend and fellow traveller”.
His co-presenter Amy Garcia told the congregation: “Harry was the heartbeat of the programme and head of the Look North family for four decades.”
She said: “Often called Mr Yorkshire, he was passionate about the county and its people.”
9. "Yorkshire legend"
Outside the minster, former umpire Bird said Gration was a “Yorkshire legend” and “a true friend”. He said: “I’m still a bit shocked and stunned. What meant most to me was his friendship. It’s a very, very sad day. I shall miss him. I have a lump in my throat now.”
10. Round of applause
Hundreds gathered outside the Minster to pay their respects and to give a round of applause to the beloved presenter.
