Youngsters enjoyed a day at the races with a difference but instead of racing horses, they raced with pancakes.

At St Philomena's School in Hadleigh Road, Frinton, pupils battered it out on the greensward in the school's annual pancake race event.
Meanwhile, at St Osyth Church of England Primary School, Aunt Bessie's pancakes came to the rescue when 600 were donated to the school to help mark Shrove Tuesday.
Jill Blyth, cook at the primary school, contacted the marketing manager at Aunt Bessie's to see if they could help out with pancakes.
There is a pancake race in the village every year.
Afterwards, the children went in for lunch with pancakes on the menu. It would have been a mammoth task to flip 180 pancakes for the youngsters so Aunt Bessie's were handy.
