Barry Graves knew he had a winning pumpkin on his hands when it became too heavy for him to carry.

Mr Graves had to wheel the 104lb pumpkin around at the Hurstpierpoint and District Horticulturalists Autumn Show.

When organisers tried to auction it off at the end of the day people were so worried about getting it home that nobody made a bid for it.

More than 250 attended the show at the village hall and it was one of the most popular in recent years.

Co-organiser Martin Sadler said: "It was a very successful day. There were a lot of entries and things had grown very well."
