Grasmere's famous Rushbearing Ceremony, centred on St Oswald's Church, has ancient origins.
The present-day ceremony is an annual event which features a procession through the village with bearings made from rushes and flowers.
In this procession there are also six Maids of Honour, a brass band, the church choir, and others carrying their own decorated rush-bearing.
