Crowds turned out in force to two country shows this weekend.

About 15,500 people made the trip to Post Hill, on the outskirts of Tiverton, for the Mid Devon Show on Saturday.

The following day, further south in the county, Totnes held its 92nd town show on Sunday.

Animals vying for rosettes at Mid Devon ranged from rare rabbit breeds to giant Belgian Blue cattle.

Phillip Beauvais, of Bowden Farm, picked up two first prizes and two second prizes for his rare-breed cattle.

He said: "I have a full-time job and I do this as a hobby so it takes a lot of dedication."

The big attraction this year in the main ring was provided by biker daredevils Moto-Stunts International, a troupe of riders who performed a routine of death-defying stunts at intervals throughout the day.

The Mid Devon Show, which is in its 17th year, has been organised by Carolyn Branton for 15 years. She said: "The final figures are yet to come in but we think we had around 500 more people this year than last.

"I think people like the show because it is extremely friendly, the stands are local and it is about the right size."

In Totnes, visitors were entertained by livestock and show-jumping, as well as a motorcycle displays by the Royal Signals Motorcycle display team, the White Helmets and a chariot race by The Caspian Horse Society Chariot display.

There was a grand parade of livestock and equine winners, terrier racing, a parade of South Devon foxhounds and Britannia beagles, falconry, sheep dogs and a fly casting demonstration.

Vintage cars and machinery, Japanese drumming, a tug of war, side saddle riding demonstrations and junior tag rugby also kept the crowds entertained.
