ASPIRING designers were commended for their efforts yesterday when the winners of an Easter bonnet contest were revealed.

The competition was run by the Bedale branch of the Skipton Building Society and entries judged by local vicar, the Reverend David Paton-Williams.

Individual honours for the best bonnets went to local schoolchildren Olivia Taylor and Chloe Herring, while Bedale primary school won the group accolade.

The prize in the adult category went to a collective design from the Millings residential home, in Bedale
