A new date has been announced for a parade in Hebden Bridge that was postponed because of The Queen’s death.

The Handmade Parade Summer Parade will now take place on Sunday, September 25.

It was due to take place this Sunday, but was cancelled yesterday because the date fell within the 10 days of mourning for Her Majesty.
