Welcome to Yorkshire Icons

We believe that Yorkshire is the greatest county in England, and we want to celebrate the people who have made it great by honouring Yorkshire’s most successful individuals. These inspirational men and women are the best in their chosen field, whether that is acting, sports, politics, music, arts, business, education or humanitarian.

We also hope that discovering more about Yorkshire’s past and present heroes will inspire the future icons-in-the-making!
