Thousands of people have been basking in the sun at the 140th Lincolnshire Show.

The annual event, held at the Lincolnshire Showground just outside Lincoln, showcases the county's farming industry.

Running since 1869, it features livestock and equine competitions and this year guests have included TV personalities and the Princess Royal.

Temperatures reached 25C.
