Yorkshire lottery winners spend day restoring historic Ilkley Lido to its former glory

Green fingered National Lottery winners with £16 million in the bank have spent the day restoring a historic lido its 'breathtaking' former glory.

Ilkley Lido, in West Yorkshire, is regarded as one of the best open-air pools in the country, but its grassland surroundings have been left looking 'threadbare' in recent years. But thanks to a team of lottery winners, it has now been transformed into an eye-catching spectacle of colour and glorious flower blooms.
