Pudsey Carnival has been part of the market town's DNA for more than three decades celebrating the very best of life in LS28 every May. The event traditionally kicks off with a parade which winds its way through the town before making its way to the showground at Queens Park which features displays, attractions and a fun fair. These photos, plucked from the YEP archive, showcase Carnival day memories from the mid-1990s through to the early 2000s. Do you recognise anyone?
