Mr Downing said: “I’ve cycled all over the world and when I’m asked where I’m from, I can’t help but show my pride when I say Yorkshire.

“There’s something special about our county – for somewhere so big, it feels tight-knit.

“The vending machine is brilliant and I’d love to see one of these in every airport around the world to stop people getting homesick.”
