Annual Cheese Rolling underway in Gloucestershire

The course was slick and slippy as the first Cheese Rolling race took place at Coopers Hill.

The course for this year's Cheese Rolling event is ready for action.

Local authorities have tried to curb the number of people attending the event by closing nearby roads. It's meant that spectators have had to walk up to two miles to get to the hill.

The annual Cheese Rolling event is getting underway at Coopers Hill in Gloucestershire today.

Last year, participants chased a foam wheel due to health and safety concerns but this year's event has seen the return of real cheese.
