Yorkshire Day is a celebration that takes place once a year to honour everything about the history of the county to its most
memorable residents.
One of the main celebrations of the day is the reading of the Yorkshire Declaration of Integrity and it is always read in the city
of York in Old English, Latin, Old Norse and modern English.

Special celebrations also take place in Yorkshire's most famous cities- including Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield and Hull.

Each year all of the lord mayors, mayors and other civic heads from across the county gather in one Yorkshire town or city to
hold a gathering and parade.
It was first celebrated in 1975 by the Yorkshire Ridings Society.

The date of August 1 relates to the Battle of Minden in 1759 which was part of the Seven Years' War.
