Hundreds of people soaked up the sunshine at Bingham Town Fair on Saturday

The event was held in conjunction with the 150th anniversary of the Buttercross as well as the 90th anniversary of the Royal British Legion.

It was organised by Bingham Town Council, which worked with with Bingham Heritage Trails Association to mark the Buttercross's milestone.

The Mayor of Bingham, Mrs Maureen Stockwood, said: "We are always pleased to support the legion and when I introduced them at the opening of the fair, there was a huge cheer.

"The show has had a really good turnout and, after the disappointment of the Christmas fair, it is lovely to see the community coming together. It goes to show the Big Society is alive and well in Bingham."
