Whitby Regatta once again proved to be a huge magnet with thousands swarming to the coast to enjoy the most of what the festivities offered.

Saturday’s sea swim was popular again while families enjoyed the entertainments along the West Cliff.

Strong winds on Saturday forced cancellation of the rowing races, but there was plenty of rowing action on the Sunday – more photos to come!
