The 54th Gorefield Show saw more visitors than ever enjoy the warm sunshine and the attractions on offer.

Show secretary Jo Mitchell said: “It went remarkably well. The horses were magnificent, numbers were up on the doors and the atmosphere was superb.

“With the number of local village shows dwindling rapidly we are proud to keep ours going.

“Last year’s show raised £4,000 which are ploughed back into village funds, and we hope to have topped last year’s total. A great success.”

Local community groups which benefit include the church, school and pre school, playing field and numerous clubs.

The event is an important qualifying heavy horse and pony show, affiliated to important societies.

Also at the show was a falconry display and birds of prey for visitors to get close up and personal to during the day.

There were vintage tractors and classic cars with the Lancaster fly past organised in honour of the Queens 90th Birthday.

The showground also boasted a range of side shows and country stalls.
