Gravy wrestling championships takes over beer garden

Hundreds of revellers took over a pub garden to watch the ‘world gravy wrestling championships' on Bank Holiday Monday.

The international competition - named one of the top ten weirdest 'sports' - sees 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, Lancs.
