    Around 4,000 yellow rubber ducks will take to the water in the Mirror Pool in Bradford’s City Park as part of Yorkshire Air Ambulance’s Yellow Yorkshire Day.

    Yorkshire Air Ambulance has been chosen as the official charity for the Tour de Yorkshire 2018, which comes to the district on May 4 and 6, and they are encouraging people to take part in activities with a yellow theme on Yellow Day today (27 April), to raise money to support their vital work.

    People will be able to take part in a hook-a-duck style game, choosing their duck from the Mirror Pool to win prizes and raise money for the lifesaving charity.

    Saira Ali from Bradford Council said: “We are delighted to be able to turn our fabulous Mirror Pool yellow with ducks to raise money for this amazing charity. We are so grateful to those who have donated prizes. I would urge everyone to come along and have a go at the ‘hook-a-duck’ and support this incredibly worthwhile cause.”
