The weather didn’t dampen the festive cheer today as hundreds turned out to enjoy the final hours of the Leeds Christmas Market at City Square.
Stalls and food outlets on City Square, including the popular Ranch Bar, are shutting up shop from tonight, while stalls on The Headrow, Cookridge Street and Millennium Square remain open till Christmas Eve.
Yorkshire Evening Post photographer Steve Riding captured the last hours of the City Square market...
