Despite the threat of rain, crowds flocked to a number of events throughout Slough and the Royal Borough today. (Saturday)

Both young and old donned their finest outfits for a day at the races at St Mary's Church in Wexham.

Highlights on the day included a plate smashing stall, face painting and hobby horse races for children and adults. The annual event was organised to help raise money for the church.

Meanwhile, just down the road in nearby Datchet more than 2,000 people attended the Datchet Village Fete.

Families sat in the sun enjoying a number of musical performances including a routine by a local Morris Dancing Club.

It was also a busy day in Windsor as dog lovers turned out for the Windsor Championship Dog Show.
