In pictures: Thousands attend Royal Cornwall Show

More than 117,000 people visited the show in 2024, and, despite the drizzly wet weather, thousands showed up to the 2025 event

The 2025 Royal Cornwall Show will come to an end later, after attracting thousands of people since it opened on Thursday.

Every year, for three days in June, organisers say they "bring the best in entertainment, agriculture, shopping and competition".

This year, visitors to the popular show included The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Edinburgh.

The annual agricultural show, attended by Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, is held at the Royal Cornwall Events Centre in Wadebridge between 5 and 7 June

Animals are at the heart of the show, with thousands across the site, including sheep, horses, pigs, goats, rabbits and pigeons and many others

Prince William and his aunt visited the Food and Farming Pavilion where the Prince said "everyone remembers their first Rattler", adding that he usually likes ice in his cider

South West Business Council chairman Tim Jones said events like the county shows were a big money spinner for the region

Visitors looked to the skies while parachutists put on a display during the event

Competitions were held across the event and the winners of the best team of five beef animals of a breed award posed proudly after their victory

Organisers said there would be about 1,000 trade stands, as well as competitors showing cattle, sheep, horses, and other animals for ribbons and trophies

Spectators watched dirt bike jumping during the event on Friday

The event opens at 08:30 BST and shuts at 18:30 each day, with tickets bought online, on the gate or at the show office

The wet weather did not dampen the spirits of visitors

The show has roots that go back to 1793 when the Cornwall Agricultural Society was formed and a ploughing match was held near Truro
