Bradford-on Avon, Wiltshire, UK. 13th Feb, 2024. The annual pancake race along the town bridge in Wiltshire's historic Bradford-on-Avon. The main road is closed for a few minutes each Shrove Tuesday for this traditional light-hearted race; the route is over the Bridge and back again. Each pancake must be tossed at least three times along the route, otherwise the competitor is disqualified. Shrove Tuesday is a Christian Feast Day before the start of Lent, an opportunity to use up fats and sugars before fasting. Credit: JMF News/Alamy Live News
