Transcript
00:00 Everyone from corporate workers to tourists visiting the city showed off their pancake
00:04 flipping skills at Banks Leiden Hall market today as the spot's Lamb Tavern held its annual Shrove
00:10 Tuesday race. These Londoners made it look easy as they relayed a 20-metre race as teams of four
00:17 with a frying pan in hand while flipping pancakes, although a few pancakes did end up on the
00:23 Victorian Market Hall's cobbled streets. The race culminated in a nail-biting finale which saw the
00:30 winning team, named the Northern Pan Slappers, finish just seconds before the runner-up followed.
00:36 Winners of the race's coveted golden frying pan will have their name inscribed on it
00:41 before it goes back on display at the Lamb Tavern for another year.
