Harry Gration, Legendary News Presenter Becomes Vice President Of The Yorkshire Society

Veteran broadcaster Harry Gration MBE, for 38 years the familiar face of BBC’s Look North on television screens throughout the Yorkshire region, has joined The Yorkshire Society as Vice President.

After an award-winning career in broadcasting, which included reporting on many dramatic events of national as well as regional importance for the BBC for almost four decades, Bradford-born Harry - a former history teacher - has been welcomed into The Yorkshire Society, the not-for-profit organisation that celebrates and promotes everything that is great about Yorkshire, its economy, history, heritage and unique culture.

Accepting the invitation, Harry said:
“I am very honoured to become a Vice President of a Society I treasure. Yorkshire means so much to me but particularly its folk. They are special. Kind, forthright, honest. Here in The Yorkshire Society we annually celebrate individuals and organisations that reflect that. Long may this continue. A privilege to be a part of it”.
