Leeds City Council is gathering memories of the Grand Depart coming to Yorkshire in 2014.

The three-week race came to England for the first time since 2007, with two stages in Yorkshire and a third finishing in London.

The race started in Leeds on the first day, heading to Otley, Skipton and Ripon before finishing in Harrogate. On the second day the cyclists started in York, taking in Harrogate and Huddersfield before finishing in Sheffield.

The gallery is being displayed on the Leodis , externalwebsite, run by Leeds Libraries. It already includes images such as the Black Prince statue in City Square dressed in a huge knitted yellow jersey.

The jersey was the result of weeks of work by the Holbeck Elderly Aid and Holt Park Active groups as a tribute to the famous yellow jersey worn by Tour winners for more than a century.
