An historic event saw competitors carry burning tar barrels through the streets.
The annual spectacle returned on November 5 when brave locals raced through Ottery St Mary in Devon carrying blazing barrels on their shoulders.
It is one of the UK’s most extraordinary annual traditions – thought to date back centuries.
The event is free to attend and attracts between 14,000 and 20,000 visitors every year
It sees local people carrying flaming, tar-soaked barrels through the narrow crowded streets.
It attracts thousands of spectators, with smaller barrels carried by younger participants earlier in the afternoon before the larger barrels take centre stage.
Celebrations traditionally culminate in the famous Midnight Barrel in the town square.
