Tomato mayhem at Spanish festival

The streets of Bunol in Spain have turned red, as tens of thousands of people gathered to celebrate the 70th Tomatina Festival, by throwing tonnes of tomatoes at each other.

150 tonnes of ripe tomatoes were brought in for the festival.

The food fight only lasts about an hour, but more than 22,000 people turned up, from all around the world to take part.

This year the town will launch its first ever tomato-based obstacle course, the Tomatina race.
