I think we can all agree that I absolutely nailed this picture of the Angel of the North from the car this morning.

Yesterday, former Rugby League player Kevin Sinfield received an honorary degree as part of this year’s graduation ceremonies 🎓
Sinfield spent his professional playing career with the @leedsrhinos and is recognised as one of the most successful players in Super League history.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How lovely are thy branches!
It might be November, but we’re putting up the decorations in Beech Grove Plaza🎄
Our famous 35ft Christmas Tree has returned, and it is certainly a lovely sight. Have a look for yourself while on campus✨

Tomorrow we’re launching the second edition of the World Changers essay collection.
The series will showcase different areas of transformative research being conducted at the University, featuring some impressive collaborations among Leeds researchers 👀👇
What a career 👊
My personal fave GVA moment was his TDY win in 2018 but there are so many to choose from. So long, champ. #classy

Sad to hear of the passing of Brian Robinson. An absolute trailblazer of a cyclist back in his pomp and more recently the most kind and generous man with his time through all the @letouryorkshire madness. Always keen to bang the drum for Yorkshire. Thank you!

Last week, we were able to help coordinate a very special reunion for a student's graduation day.
Emma flew all the way from New Zealand to surprise her sister Kiera on the big day! 🇳🇿✈️🇬🇧

Disappointing to see this. Whatever your views on the organisation, the Yorkshire.com site paved the way for how destination websites should look, with a focus on dynamic & inspirational content.
Now it’s being flogged off to the highest bidder.

Really pleased to have been involved in the delivery of this project.
13 interesting and vastly different essays that truly showcase the impact that the University has on the world. Well worth exploring.
World Changers; Celebrating Impactful Research features 13 essays written by early-career researchers committed to tackling challenging issues.

Inevitably (and probably fairly) the 2026 bid will be for somewhere else in the country, but how awesome would it be to see it back in Yorkshire, 12 years on from the iconic 2014 Grand Départ? So many great routes available & a Scarborough finish would be so 👌

For anyone who was shocked & saddened to hear @BorisJohnson say “never mind about cancer outcomes”, please sign this petition to get cancer back on the agenda.
8/8 That's why, at this year's Spending Review, we urgently need Government to commit to long term investment in the cancer workforce and kit to address the gaps and our future need. Show your support through our petition: bit.ly/3hQ3rYS #CancerWontWait

Police are urging the public to check any private CCTV, dash-cam or doorbell footage they have that may help in their search for Paul Johnson (74) who's missing from St Andrews.
Any info to police via 101 quoting ref no 0266 of 16/09/21.

Such a shame. A great legacy for Yorkshire lost.
At least we’ve got the 5 amazing editions from 2015-2019 to remember.
I wrote about my 5 favourite moments in April last year and I’ll miss iconic moments like these: letour.yorkshire.com/the-lat…
