Thousands gathered to enjoy a historic sheep fair.

Findon Sheep Fair, which can be traced back as far as the 13th century, took place yesterday as temperatures hit 29C in Sussex.

The event had a sheep petting area, fairground rides, morris dancing and even a camel display in Nepcote Green, Findon, near Worthing.

The fair is also famous for its dancing sheep, where sheep that being judged can be seen jigging from side to side.

The fair has run almost every year for the last 200 years.

Farmers would travel from across Sussex to sell their sheep.

The event was curtailed as part of lockdown restrictions in previous years but ran again last year.
