In Bradford City Centre, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress joined with Fairtrade cocoa farmers, Harriet and Fatima, to show off Fairtrade cotton bunting that had been decorated by local schoolchildren. The bunting carried statements of support for Fairtrade.
Across the UK over 130,000 decorated bunting triangles were completed, some nearly as good as those provided by the talented Bradford schoolchildren. The final line broke a world record for the longest ever string of bunting.
