This year’s Baldock Street Fair – the grandstand final weekend event of the town’s 17-day festival – was full of colour and vigour with Vikings, a Victorian magician and Morris Men populating the High Street.

A festival spokesman said: “It was good to see so many people, charities and organisations attending the festival and we want to say many thanks to the volunteers who worked on the day for 12 hours.”
