Stratford's annual Mop fair opens

Stratford-upon-Avon's traditional Mop Fair was officially opened today by the Chairman of Stratford District Council Cllr Chris Kettle.

Despite the poor weather, civic officials braved the rain to try the spectacular rides and attractions on offer.

Meat from a pig roast on Waterside was also auctioned off in aid of charity.
