Simon Law, 50, flew his drone, dubbed Mavis the Mavic, about 100m (300ft) over the town on Sunday, capturing a host of marvellous landscapes.

His pictures also show the throngs of people gathered for the annual Holmfirth Food and Drink Festival – and queues of cars snaking down the main road.

Mr Law, who runs a plumbing and heating business with his son, is a keen amateur photograph­er and said he had taken to drone photograph­y in the last few years.

He ventured up to the hills at Rotcher to take the photograph­s, having built up his flying skills over the past year, including on a trip to the canyons around Las Vegas.

He said: “I’ve been taking photos of Formula 1 for years.

“You see lots of photograph­ers doing landscape shots but when drones came out I thought, wow, that’s a different angle.

“To take pictures from a drone gives you a totally different perspectiv­e.”

Mr Law posted the images from his drone on the Holmfirth Community Facebook page with several members praising him for his efforts.
