Hodder Valley Show 2019: Picture special from the record-breaking one-day show

The sun shone and thousands of visitors descended into the Ribble Valley to reward all the hard work of the committee, trade stands and exhibitors of the annual Hodder Valley Show.

Spectators were treated to a talk and display of wildlife and birds of prey, egg catching, children’s races, vintage vehicles parade, sheep shearing demonstrations and a special event brought back from years ago by this year's president, Mr John Barber – knobbliest knees competition!.
