Heavy rain didn’t dampen spirits as visitors braved the downpours on the opening day of the Great Yorkshire Show 2024.

Despite the wet weather creating muddy conditions at the showground in Harrogate, there was still lots to enjoy as the annual agricultural showcase returned for its 165th event.

Here is a selection of photos from day one.

The show runs until Friday, July 12.
