The show, held at Ossett War Memorial Community Centre, identified the best tulips grown by WNETS members, across a variety of categories.

The Society’s annual show is the last of its kind worldwide and is the only place where a traditional, competitive display of the tulips can be seen.

One committee member of the Wakefield and North of England Tulip Society, said: "It is always a delight to see these special flowers with growers often battling the odds to produce some amazing flowers for the show and this year was no exception.

Professor Jonathan Seville presents a trophy to one of the winners, Judy Baker. The Wakefield & North of England Tulip Society Show was held at Ossett War Memorial Community Centre.

“Despite the recent cooler weather and late season more than 30 exhibitors displayed tulip blooms at the Annual Show in Ossett, moved back one day due to the Coronation and a special class this year in honour of King Charles.

Following the event in May, the Society's ‘Small Show’ was later held at Wrenthorpe Village Hall, Wakefield, with nine exhibitors showing the last of the season’s English Florists’ tulips.
