Abingdon's Bun Throwing Championships
More than 250 buns were thrown at the inaugural World Bun Throwing Championships
An Oxfordshire market town has held what it claims was the first World Bun Throwing Championships.
Since King George III's coronation in 1761, officials in Abingdon have thrown currant buns from the roof of its County Hall to mark special occasions.
"Some of the younger contestants decided to eat their buns rather than throwing them but that didn't matter, it was a great day and a lot of fun."
