Celebrities and cosplay fans were in Harrogate at the weekend for the two-day Comic Con Yorkshire.

John Cleese led the line-up of comic, TV and film stars at Yorkshire Event Centre, which is situated at the Great Yorkshire Showground.

Comic Cons enable fans to meet their heroes and cosplay as their favourite characters.

They have been held around the world for years but this was the first such venture in Harrogate.

Here are some photos of the event.

The cosplay phenomenon was popularised in Japan and involves dressing up as a character from a film, book, or video game.
