Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley MP Yvette Cooper, whose constituency used to include Normanton before boundary changes, said it was “another brilliant day”.
She said: “Great Normanton & Altofts Gala parade this morning. Well done to all the dance clubs, cadets, scouts, sports and drama clubs who walked all the way from Altofts to Haw Hill Park with the Mayor - and to all the parents and volunteers who organised them (especially everyone who put together the brilliant Dance House Willy Wonka costumes).
“Thank you to Normanton Town Council for organising another brilliant day for the whole community to come together.”
The weekend included live entertainment, fairground attractions, food and drink, stalls and activities for families, with Saturday evening rounded off by a fireworks display.
The event brought together community groups, performers, businesses and residents for one of Normanton's biggest annual celebrations.
Organisers thanked everyone who helped put the weekend together and those who came along to support the gala.
