OVER £1,500 was raised for charity at the Keighley town mayor's civic dinner.
Guests at the event – held in Keighley Civic Centre – included fellow mayors from across Yorkshire, councillors and representatives of organisations.
A raffle and auction were held.
Proceeds will go to Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice Manorlands and Sunbeam Support Group, the chosen charities of mayor Councillor John Kirby.
He says: "I am immensely grateful to everyone for making the civic dinner such a memorable occasion.
"The overwhelming turnout truly amazed me – and I couldn't be prouder of the significant funds raised for two exceptional causes."
He expressed particular thanks to town council officers, his wife and family, his chosen charities and councillors, and Timothy Taylor's brewery for its year-round support.
