Mayor of Calderdale, Coun Chris Pillai, opened the event and also judged the cake competition and Halifax MP Holly Lynch carried out the raffle draw.

The event, which is organised by several local groups, was established in 2017 to sustain the #more in common ethos of the late MP, Jo Cox, proved to be hugely successful with countless numbers of people attending throughout the day.

Organisers hope the event will return to its usual date, Sunday, July 3, in 2022.
