The Driffield Show celebrates the best of the region's farming industry

Thousands of people attended this year's Driffield Show.

Visitors enjoyed livestock competitions, exhibitions and food and drink stalls at the annual event.

Other highlights included dog and pony shows, a junior showjumping competition, craft sessions and gardening classes, as well as displays of the latest farming technology and a motorbike stunt show.

Running on and off since 1854, the agricultural event takes place on the Driffield Showground just outside the East Yorkshire town.
