CROWDS of people braved the rain to take part in one of the agricultural highlights of the year.

Around one thousand people turned out to Millom and Broughton Show to celebrate the best of the countryside.

The show, in its 133rd year, is an occasion for people of all ages and farming families from around the area to get involved and show off the best of what Cumbria’s agricultural industry has to offer.

Among the events were Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling, vintage machinery, livestock, children’s entertainment and crafts.

Jeffery Maddock, the honorary director of the show, said attendees enjoyed themselves despite of the inclement weather.

He said: “It was a great day for everyone who came along even if we had a few showers.

“We made a few changes to the layout of the show and everyone seemed to respond really well.

“There was a dog show that people really liked.”
