Thousands of people have defied the wet weather for day one of the Royal Cornwall Show.
The event is huge for Cornwall’s food, farming and business community and also an important event for local charities to attract volunteers and donations.
The show, which runs from Thursday to Saturday at the Royal Cornwall Showground near Wadebridge, is expected to draw tens of thousands of visitors for a celebration of farming, food and rural life.
It began life in 1793 as a ploughing match, before growing into an event with about 1,000 trade stands, livestock competitions, arena entertainment, food and drink, and live music.
