Photo gallery: The lights and sights of Leeds's favourite fair

Its colourful lights form part of Leeds' famous skyline at this time every year.

Today is the last day in town for the Great Leeds Valentine’s Fair, a much-loved city attraction which draws thousands of visitors to the Leeds United car parks at Elland Road for one week of the year.

More than 100 rides and attractions have been part of the fun, and this year the fair has featured the Spinning Wild Mouse and Big Apple roller coasters.

Guests haven’t gone hungry or thirsty, either, with a Bavarian-themed pop-up pub serving food and drinks.

Here, Yorkshire Evening Post photographer Simon Hulme has captured all the fun of the fair, with people of all ages enjoying such novelties as the merry-go-round, dodgems and hook-a-duck.

See you again next year!
