The village of Sheet turned out strongly for its annual duck race.

The event is unique in that the ducks swim a course along a street, not down a river.

Around 500 ducks took part and the event raised hundreds of pounds for local children's charity,  the Stepping Stones nursery.

Shine Radio microphones captured the excitement. Stephen Martin's report begins with the voice of Elaine, sister of the late Will Glancy who was instrumental in establishing this event in the village calendar.
