Yorkshire's spectacular scenery was put out to a global audience:

Red Arrows fly over Harewood House
Allez le Tour!
Thousands lined the streets

More than a few colourful characters lined the route:

Who needs a jersey anyway?
I'll be the one in the multicoloured wig...
Lesley and Adrian Johnson bring some rock spirit to the tour
Arriba!

Four wheels is sometimes better than two
Going nowhere fast

The roads were paved with....chalk:

#pray4cav
Too steep for some
Va Va Froome
Young artists in Huddersfield

Security services were in high demand:

Heightened security in Leeds

There was some very helpful signage along the route:

And just in case there was any confusion:

No excuse for getting lost
