Bradford has been named the UK's City of Culture 2025 - a big blow for Wales as Wrexham, which was one of four finalists, missed out on the top prize.
The announcement of the winner was made live on BBC's The One Show by UK Culture secretary Nadine Dorries.
Bradford will hold the prestigious title in 2025, following in the footsteps of Coventry, Derry/Londonderry and Hull. Benefits of scooping the gong include attracting millions of pounds of investment to boost regeneration, a year in the cultural spotlight with hundreds of events and a tourism bonanza.
