The festivities got underway with the Reeth Brass Band parading through the village.

Organisers said the show had been a big success and drew thousands of people to Reeth.

Tony Sunter, chairman of Reeth Show, said it had been one of their best with an estimated turnout of over 6,000 people including Prime Minister and Richmond MP Rishi Sunak.

He said: “It has been an excellent show, Rishi Sunak helped with the traditional opening, marching down from the village with Reeth Brass Band to the showground.

"He spent over an hour and half talking to exhibitors and visitors, examining many highpoints from the prize cattle to the carved walking sticks. I think he had a good time and it was nice to see him.

“It has been absolutely marvellous, thankfully the weather was good without being too hot. All the exhibitors did really well, the numbers were up on previous years.

"We are mostly volunteers and I think it’s fair to say all our hard work has paid off, and we want to say thankyou to everyone who came for their support.”

The performance was headed by the show committee and judges, starting at 9.30am.

Residents could be seen enjoying the agricultural competitions on offer, as well as observing the horse, cattle and sheep competitions.

The Fremington Edge Fell Race also saw competitors young and old scaling the steep neighbouring fellside.

Adding to this, the open dry stone walling competition attracted many looking to test their skills alongside master builders attending the event.
