Photographs of Riddlesden, Harden and Wilsden feature in a new book written by YTV weatherman Jon Mitchell.

Pictures by Keighley News freelance photographer Tony Fickes are also in the hardback Bright and Breezy.

The book celebrates the 40th anniversary of Yorkshire Television and its news programme Calendar.

It looks at memorable events caused by the weather and how they have been reported on Calendar. It also explains how weather has affected the filming of popular programmes like Emmerdale and Heartbeat.

Most of the book is devoted to pictures sent by Calendar viewers to show the Yorkshire region in all weathers.

These include three by Tony Fickes, showing Goit Stock waterfall in Harden, Ribblehead railway station and a Wilsden wood.

There is also on iced-up stretch of the Leeds-Liverpool canal at Riddlesden, taken by Gerald Illingworth.

Bright and Breezy costs £14.99 from bookshops.
