Leeds town to rename all its pubs after Yorkshire celebrities
Volunteers with the non-profit organisation Otley Pub Club last renamed all the pubs when the Tour de France Grand Départ passed through in 2014.
It proved so popular that they have decided to do it again in honour of Yorkshire Day.

Hide AdAn online survey carried out over the past two months gave people the chance to name their favourite Yorkshire celebrities in a number of categories.
And tonight (August 1) an FA Cup-style draw will take place to pair up celebrities and pubs, with comedian Charlie Chuck doing the honours along with a competition winner.
The draw takes place at the Black Horse Hotel in Otley at 7pm, although the pubs will not be renamed until Yorkshire Day 2018.
