They've got an important job to do - but West Yorkshire Police still did their best to put a smile on everyone's faces during the Tour de Yorkshire.

They posed for pictures with children, high-fived people along the route and generally got into the spirit of things!

They asked people to share their police pictures taken along the route using the Twitter hashtag #TDYPolicePics - and dozens of you did just that!

Here are some of the best!

They posed for pictures...

They made kids smile...

They made new friends

They gave high fives and thumbs-up...

They even played some music!

And everyone loved the officers of the four legged kind!

Weren't they great!
