Photos: Wombats, royalty and nappers sum up the summer show season
The Farmers Weekly Livestock team have had a very busy June and July, with the Royal Highland, Great Yorkshire and Royal Welsh Shows.
Here are a few of the photos we snapped when out and about that capture the spirit of the events, from royal guests to cheeky nappers – and even a wombat.

The aisles have been packed with people enjoying the attractions, socialising, showing and shopping.

Inventions… The Wombat pothole repairer was built using a series of scrap excavator parts and works by stirring up the material in and around the pothole, getting rid of the dish-like shape.
And innovations… of sorts. No prizes for guessing which show this was!

The Royal Welsh was not without its creativity, though. This, believe it or not, is a caravan…

But we must not forget, the outstanding livestock at all of the summer shows.
