Throwers hurled black puddings at Yorkshire puddings as they took part in the world championships
Hundreds of people cheered on as entrants competed in the official Black Pudding Throwing World Championships, at The Oak pub in the village of Ramsbottom, Bury.
Contestants battled it out to see who could knock as many Yorkshire puddings off a 20ft ledge by lobbing traditional blood sausages at them.
The tradition has its roots in the Lancashire/Yorkshire rivalry and has been taking place for more than a century.
