On Tuesday, youngsters were quick off the mark to collect as many coins as they could in the annual hot pennies.

The community has also held silent reflections throughout the week in memory of Sir John Cave, president of the fair committee, who died earlier this year.

Nancy Craven, chair of the fair committee, said: “It is a special event. We have had a couple of moments of silent reflection at the fun run and fair day to remember all the things John Cave contributed to the village.”
