The Island Games 2023 has entered its fourth day of competition in Guernsey.

Road racing, table tennis, sailing and basketball were among the sports taking place on Wednesday.

Thousands of athletes and officials have travelled to the island and about 1,200 volunteers are involved in supporting the games.

Guernsey successfully bid to host the games in 2021 but that was delayed for two years because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
