Staff and customers at The Benjamin Fawcett, in Driffield, celebrated Armed Forces Day, with a charity fund-raising event.
The pub’s manager, Alex Campbell, pictured with shift manager Gemma Barua, as well as bar associates Katie Joyce and Claire Dennis, welcomed members of the Driffield Royal British Legion to the event.
Alex had his legs waxed for charity, along with bar associates Matt Richards and Gareth Howard.
There was a cake sale and customers and staff took it in turns, in 20-minute shifts, to cycle the all-day bikeathon on an exercise bike, from 8am until 1am the following morning.
The event raised £415, split between Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion.
