Competitors battled to knock Yorkshire puddings off a 20ft plinth with black pudding at the annual World Black Pudding Throwing Championships in Bury on Sunday, 10 September. • The event is believed to have been inspired by a 1455 battle in Lancashire during the War of the Roses when the two sides ran out of ammunition and resorted to throwing food at each other. • Legend has it that those from Lancashire picked up black pudding, while Yorkshire puddings were used by their rivals. • Participants stand on a golden grid and have three attempts to knock down as many puddings as possible. • Click on link for more on Independent TV: https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/edit... • Click here to subscribe to The Independent: https://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Independent • About The Independent: • Making Change Happen.
