Thousands of people have descended on Harrogate Showground for the 2010 Great Yorkshire Show. After months of planning, and with advance bookings at an all time high, this year’s celebration of the county’s agricultural best looks set to be a record breaker.
And the 159th show had a Royal visitor for its opening day, as Janine Goodall reports for BCB:

A surprise highlight of the show is the mouth-watering Rhubarb and Custard garden. created by tourism development chiefs at Welcome to Yorkshire.
Fresh from success at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show, the award-winning garden has been brought back to its roots. It will be on display to an estimated crowd of 130,000 people over the next three days before becoming a permanent feature, just down the road, at Harlow Carr Gardens.
James Crossling's been taking a look behind the scenes:

In total, over 8,000 sheep, cows and pigs are going through a meticulous judging process at the show in the hope of landing one of 2,000 awards on offer.
