Otley goes quackers for race

Otley’s first ever grand charity duck race saw 1,000 brightly coloured rubber ducks sail down the River Wharfe from Otley Bridge.

More than £860 has been raised for local charities including Bramhope Scouts, Otley Action for Older People, Otley Carnival and Behind Closed Doors.

Birthday girl Izzie Lunn-Varley, seven, was crowned the duck race champion at the weekend.

Marketing Manager at Adlington, Claire Reede said: “We want to thank everyone who came and supported the race and helped make the day a success.”
