THE ANNUAL Cunningsburgh Show has brought crowds – and cars – to the South Mainland today (Wednesday) for the yearly celebration.

As well as the usual agricultural judging, everything from photography to knitwear and from flowers to cakes are on show for both crowds and judges to pick their favourites.

There are also the traditional show sports day at the football pitch from 2pm on a fine day for the show, with food, drinks and live music also on offer to entice people down to the South Mainland.

And everyone from Shetland Samaritans to Dogs Against Drugs are also at the show today to speak to passers-by.
