Ms Collins tweeted: “Well done to all of our fabulous Specials who have been working over this weekend #youareallawesome.”
The fine weather of Saturday attracted many hundreds to the Ale Trail, stopping off in Marsden and Slaithwaite to soak up the atmosphere in local pubs.
Officers from the Kirklees Rural Neighbourhood Policing team and British Transport Police were also on duty.
They reported large crowds but no trouble.

But there was one incident which made it on to social media.
Kirklees Rural tweeted: “Unfortunately some people don’t realise that being drunk and dropping their trousers in a @WYP_KirkRural village isn’t appropriate.
“They have been given suitable words of advice, we’re pleased to say that there is no photo of the incident.”
