13 beautiful spring pictures from across Leeds as the city basks in the sun this week

As the mercury rises, Leeds is looking its absolute best - if we do say so ourselves.

If you need a bit more convincing, we’ve put our money where our mouth is with these stunning images captured by Yorkshire Evening Post photographer Tony Johnson.

Leeds' green spaces are continuing to flourish in the spring sunshine, and locals have been heading out in their droves to enjoy the warm weather, with even more heat on the way.

According to the Met Office’s forecast for the remainder of the week, Leeds is set to see highs of 16°c and 17°c, before Saturday heats up to a balmy 20°c.

You’ll want to make the most of it while it lasts, however, as the clouds are set to return to the city by Sunday afternoon.

With that in mind, here are 13 of the most beautiful pictures from across the city that perfectly capture this week's spring glow, and provide the perfect excuse to get out and enjoy the weather while the sun is still shining.
