Thousands of people flocked to the Cuckfield Cuckfoo Fair yesterday.

The sun shone for a record crowd at the popular village event.

Most stalls sold out, raising a substantial sum for Warden Park School in Cuckfield, which needs money for an improved sports hall.

There were sideshows, refreshments and displays including a dog gymkhana.

Organiser Phyl Bowring said: "It was brilliant - probably the best ever. People have been starved of things to do, what with the weather and foot-and-mouth.

"We were absolutely jam-packed. You almost had to elbow your way through."
