Pictures and livestock winners from 244th Wolsingham Show

Thousands stepped out for the return of Wolsingham Show on Saturday and Sunday.

The two-day event, which is England's oldest agricultural show and the 244th in its history, saw crowds spoiled for choice with food, markets, a live cookery show, and high quality livestock on show.

Saturday was 'Agricultural Day' and featured everything from show jumping, vintage vehicles, a bird of prey display, and a hundred trade stands.

Sunday was 'Country Fair day' and involved such events as a ferret show, dog agility, and the grand parade of winning stock.
