Gloucestershire cheese rolling attracts thousands to Coopers Hill

Hundreds of people took part in the annual cheese rolling extreme sporting event in Gloucestershire.

Competitors chased a 8.8lb (4kg) Double Gloucester cheese wheel down the steep Coopers Hill in Brockworth, near Gloucester.

The world-famous event went ahead despite safety fears.

The women's race was won by Canadian Delaney Irving, who was knocked unconscious as she chased the cheese.
