THANKS to the glorious sunshine, huge crowds flocked to Bellingham Show and Country Festival last Saturday (August 27).

Show-goers couldn't have asked for better weather as they watched the dancing sheep show, dog and duck show and equestrian displays.

As ever, the prizes in the industrial tent were hotly contested and many turned out to see the fell race and inter-hunt challenge.

See this week's paper for a full show report and results.
