The BBC East Yorkshire Instagram account celebrates the beauty of the region and we love to see the incredible images produced by our local amateur and professional photographers.

We saw some tremendous displays of the Northern Lights throughout the year, as well as stunning views of our most familiar and much-loved landmarks.

As 2025 comes to an end, here are some of both ours and our followers’ favourites.
