Lots of people wrapped up, ignored the looming black clouds and enjoyed everything that was on offer at the 141st Loweswater Show on Sunday.

Farmers, families, locals and visitors all headed for the show field. The day kicked off with fell pony classes, sheep and poultry judging and sheep dog trials.

As well as all the show ring action - which included dogs and family pets, there was a bustling industrial tent, stalls, vintage vehicles, refreshments and masses of entertainment.

A 26-strong Cockermouth Mechanics Band kept everyone smiling. A little rain was not going to thwart them - they simply moved into the beer tent with all their kit and kept on playing.

Fell runners young and old turned out for the popular fell races. Thirty three children took part in the under-11 race. First boy home was Mylo Jewell, first girl was Olivia Swarbrick, both Cumberland Fell Runners. Fourteen took part in the under-16 race, which was won by James Bowen, Ambleside. First girl was Emily Swarbrick, CFR.

Forty-two seniors battled it out on the short and very sharp 2.5-mile race. Winner was Mark Purkis, from Edinburgh, first lady was Catherine Spurden, Keswick AC.

Cockermouth farmers Jemma and Jonathan Marrs were at the show with daughters, Jessica, three, Becka, six, and nine of their texels.

They won champion continental with a texel tup. They also won first prize with an aged ewe, second with a shearling and third with a ewe.

Jemma has been showing at Loweswater for the past five years. Jessica was showing her texel, Doris, and came third in the young handlers. Becka also got a handlers prize.

"It's a lovely show. It's great to see the children taking part, they are the next generation and will keep it going in the future," said Jemma. "It was a great show, regardless of the weather.

There was something for everyone, from the vintage, to the industrial and all the animals.

"There were a lot of people watching the judging. It's a nice show for farmers, not so commercial but still a good level of sheep.

"There was quite a lot of non-farming people asking all sorts of questions, which is great."

Her daughters enjoyed everything on offer, including the children's games and sports.

"They loved The Ferretworld Roadshow and got to take part. Children and ferrets were racing against each other through tubes," said Jemma.

There was bit of sibling rivalry going on in the show ring. Jemma's brother, Adam Brown, who also farms in Cockermouth, was showing his beltex.

He got reserve champion in the continental class with his home bred beltex gimmer. He got first beltex tup lamb and first in the continental shearling class.

"He has been showing since he was three, he's 20 now. There's lots of healthy rivalry between us," said Jemma.

An American red-tailed buzzard being shown by its handler, proved very popular.

Show secretary Rachel Moore said: "We had about 2,500 people and it all went really well, there was a lovely atmosphere.

"The show team worked really well and we had lots of help from the young farmers."
