The South Suffolk Show is cancelled for the second year running - but there are plenty of pictures to enjoy from years past.
Organisers from the South Suffolk Agricultural Association had to cancel one of the biggest events on the county s farming calendar in 2021, due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Held annually on the second Sunday in May at Ampton Racecourse, near Bury St Edmunds, the show - which is in its 133rd year - was due to be held on May 9.
