Tour de France: William, Kate and Harry to attend Grand Depart
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry will attend the Tour De France Grand Depart in Yorkshire on 5 July, Kensington Palace has announced.
The first leg of the Tour de France, the world's biggest cycle race, will take riders from Leeds city centre to Harrogate.
The second day of the race will start in York and end in Sheffield.
Yorkshire beat off bids from Florence and Edinburgh to host the prestigious event.
The race last visited the UK in 2007, when London hosted a prologue ahead of a road stage from the capital to Canterbury, attracting two million spectators.
