People of Yorkshire have been preparing for this year’s Tour de France start for months and we are almost there.
They have even built a replica of the Eiffel Tower above the rooftops of Yorkshire after being built by a community to capture the spirit of the Tour de France.
The 25ft-tall version of the iconic French landmark has been erected in the back garden of Charles and Fiona Prest’s home in Burley-in-Wharfedale, West Yorks., to mark the race which will pass through the town this weekend.
More than 100 people have worked for weeks to build the model, using a scaffolding base and a sturdy wooden frame.
