Good evening. It's been months in the planning and the

:00:12.:00:14.

Tour de France didn't disappoint. At least a million

:00:15.:00:17.

people lined the route as 188 elite cyclists swept

:00:18.:00:19.

through North Yorkshire's towns and villages. They were

be in a lot of pain. He was rolling around holding his

:01:29.:01:31.

shoulder. He was in agony. The whole crowd was shocked.

:01:32.:01:33.

The rest of it almost went by, because we saw that

:01:34.:01:36.

Cavendish was down. The Yorkshire setback could not

:01:37.:01:38.

spoil the mood of spectators who waited hours by the

:01:39.:01:40.

finish line. It is just amazing The Tour de France

:02:13.:02:15.

coming here, the minute the dates and the location were

huge moment for cycling fans and today has been a

:02:21.:02:22.

series of huge and unpreceddnted moments for Yorkshire.

:02:23.:02:52.

Well, as I mentioned, the Tour was given royal approval, with the Duke

:02:53.:02:55.

and Duchess of Cambridge johning Prince Harry on the route.

:02:56.:02:58.

The Duchess presented the ydllow jersey at the finishing lind.

What they did not know was that they were also going to get

:03:14.:03:22.

Princes William, Harry and Kate arrived by helicopter.

:03:23.:03:26.

They got out there and spent an hour walking around meeting people.

:03:27.:03:31.

They tried the locally brewdd Tour ale.

:03:32.:03:33.

They were given dozens of these little loom bands and a special

celebrations but the memories gathered hdre today

:03:41.:03:42.

Ambulance workers in North Xorkshire were on strike

today. Yorkshire Ambulance Service says it "managed

:04:01.:04:02.

well" despite the walkout, coinciding with the Tour de

:04:03.:04:04.

And that's all from us. We're back at 6 o'clock
