THE Royal Cornwall Show, held during June, was a huge success with record-breaking crowds attending over the three days.

The last-minute disappointment which led to many cattle and sheep from outside Cornwall not being exhibited because of bluetongue restrictions did not deter people from attending and show official were well pleased.

On the second day of the three-day event, the Princess Royal, a former show president was guest.

Taking the Beef International supreme championship was Sterling Michelles Rhapsody (pictured right by Allan McLaren), a three-year-old British Simmental from the Boddington Estates, Cheltenham.
