Pictures as Bedale welcomes hundreds to annual Point-to-Point

The Point-to-Point meeting has been taking place for more than a century in various locations around the Bedale area, before settling in the parkland of Hornby Castle in 1947.

It takes place each year and sees a series of races with the first being held at 12.30pm.

There was entertainment for all with food vendors, a beer tent and a bouncy castle for kids, with coverage of the Grand National at Aintree as I Am Maximus won the coveted race.

Organisers once again put on a successful event, with the Point-to-Point continuing to prove a popular day out for both racing fans and families alike in the region.
