Royal Welsh Show 2018 highlights and photos
The Royal Welsh Show celebrated its 99th anniversary from 23-26 July at Llanelwedd, Builth Wells, Powys.
Visitors flocked to the four-day farming extravaganza, which is fast becoming Europe’s biggest agricultural show.
Temperatures weren’t as high as expected, with cloud and a little rain on Tuesday ensuring stock stayed relatively cool, after concerns that a blistering heatwave, predicted by the Met Office, would take its toll.
