Mr Andrew Fletcher's 784lb entry to the Soham Pumpkin Fair, Cambridgeshire.
The growing of pumpkins in the peat rich Cambridgeshire Fens is a profitable business thanks to the proximity of a number of US airbases and the American enthusiasm for celebrating Halloween. For fifty years the community of Soham has come together in the last Saturday of September on ground it is said given to the community by two women widowed during World War 1. The event features an array of competitions, from tallest sunflower to heaviest tomato, alongside stalls, arena displays, and ferret racing.
