Hundreds of revellers descended on a pub garden on bank holiday Monday to watch the ‘World Gravy Wrestling Championships’.

The international competition - named one of the top 10 weirdest ‘sports’ - saw 16 men and eight women battle in the sauce-soaked ring.

Around 2,000 litres of gravy are used at the event, which is held annually at the Rose ‘N’ Bowl pub in Rossendale, Lancashire,.
