It was a case of "here come the brides" in York today as Breast Cancer Awareness Week was promoted in the region.

The models, who will be appearing at the Yorkshire Brides 2000 exhibition in Harrogate, were raising awareness of Breast Cancer Care, which is the charity benefiting from this year's show.

The charity was chosen by the show because it has a mainly female audience of more than 5,000.

Yorkshire Brides 2000 will take place during the weekend of October 14 and 15 at the Pavilions of Harrogate within the Great Yorkshire Showground.

Cathy McConaghy, the show organiser, said more than 120 businesses will showcase their wares.
