OTLEY'S Bellman is celebrating adding another trophy to his tally.

Terry Ford came first in this year's Halifax Woolshops Town Crier Competition, triumphing over other entrants from around the country.

The win follows a string of previous victories including at the Ely International Town Crier Competition earlier this year and contests in Huddersfield and Halifax in 2016.

Otley Town Council Chair Councillor Ray Georgeson (Lib Dem, Danefield) said: "He's done it again!

"Bravo and congratulations to our Otley Bellman Terry on yet another Town Crier competition victory in a hard-fought, but convivial, contest.

"As one of our Otley Ambassadors, he does us proud every time he travels and proclaims the virtues of Otley in these competitions."
