    • In a first aspect of the invention there is provided a wind turbine blade comprising a blade shell that extends in a spanwise direction from a root end to a tip end, and in a chordwise direction from a leading edge to a trailing edge. The blade shell comprises a spar cap formed from a plurality of substantially planar strips of reinforcing material, the strips being arranged in a plurality of stacks extending longitudinally in the spanwise direction and arranged side-by-side in the chordwise direction. In each stack an uppermost strip defines an upper surface of the stack, a lowermost strip defines a lower surface of the stack, and longitudinal edges of the stacked strips define side surfaces of the stack. The blade further comprises a retaining clip comprising a plurality of side-by-side substantially U-shaped sections. The U-shaped sections each comprise a pair of mutually-spaced side portions defining a stack-receiving region therebetween, and the side portions are joined by a bridging portion. At least some of the stacks are located in the stack-receiving regions of the retaining clip, such that the side portions of the U-shaped sections abut side surfaces of the stacks. Each U-shaped section of the retaining clip is inverted with respect to its neighbouring U-shaped section(s) such that the bridging portions of the respective U-shaped sections extend alternately across the upper and lower surfaces of the stacks in the chordwise direction.
