Crowds gather for Day 1 of the Royal Cornwall Show
Wet start to The Royal Cornwall Show
Grey skies, raincoats and umbrellas are the order of the day at the Royal Cornwall Show. Despite the weather, organisers are hoping for a big crowd. Last year 125,000 people attended the event over three days. The record is 130,000.

A wet start to The Royal Cornwall Show
The first day of Cornwall's biggest agricultural event has been marred by bad weather. Gusting winds and heavy rain have meant a disappointing start to the Royal Cornwall Show. This year it unusually falls during half term week. Organisers had hoped that would bring a boost to visitor numbers.
