Not sure if this should go here or gardening. The primary school GS attends does this ancient ceremony every year and this year GS got one of the 2 main parts of The Page. Looks like a lovely day for the whole village.

We used to live in West Witton in Wensleydale which had the Burning Bartle ceremony each August - lovely but quite wacky.
