AN enthusiastic group of Liberal Democrats were up bright and early on Sunday morning to greet their party's poster van.

The van is touring Britain, concentrating on those constituencies where Liberal Democrats are challenging to win.

Party supporters, including Colne Valley candidate Elisabeth Wilson, met the van at Carr Lane, Slaithwaite.

It stayed there for 30 minutes before continuing its journey through the Colne Valley.

It later visited Holmfirth.

The van displayed large posters with a picture of Charles Kennedy and key Liberal Democrat messages.
