The annual World Black Pudding Throwing Championships took place in Ramsbottom, Bury.

Competitors hurl the local delicacy onto a 20ft-high plinth in a bid to dislodge a dozen Yorkshire puddings.

Participants stand on a golden grid in the town centre and have three attempts to knock down as many as possible with their underarm throws. Previous competitions have been won by competitors from as far away as Turkey and Australia.
