Hundreds of spectators gathered to watch competitors battle it out in the World Black Pudding Throwing Championships,
The annual competition held in Ramsbotton, Lancs, sees rivals battle it out to knock traditional Yorkshire and Lancashire black puddings off a 20ft high plinth.
The quirky northern tradition sees rivals battle it out for supremacy by throwing Lancashire black pudding slices at one dozen Yorkshire puddings - with each competitor taking three turns to knock as many off as possible.
The event is said to have been inspired by a 1455 battle in nearby Stubbins during the War of the Roses, fought by the House of Lancaster and the House of York.
