Coun Anne Handley, leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “Hosting a whole stage of the Tour of Britain is such an exciting event for the East Riding.

“As the riders speed through our picturesque landscape, from Goole to Bridlington to Beverley and everywhere in between, let’s line the roads, cheer for the competitors, and show off our creativity with spectacular decorations and land art masterpieces.

“This is a day to showcase the beauty of the East Riding, so let’s make it unforgettable!”
