It was gloriously sunny this morning as crowds flocked to day three of the Balmoral Show.

 

This video shows the fine conditions. Yet today is the day when sunshine is least likely, tomorrow from midday is set to be better.

 

Here are pictures from yesterday, a bustling day two, with big numbers of visitors and several leading politicians too.

 

In this amusing video, children laugh at two performing 'mature' women, bouncing to pop music. The report is about how they can steer mini Land Rovers at the show.

 

And here is Richard Halloran's agricultural report from Thursday at the show. And on Monday, her covered the Ulster Farming Union president William Irvine making a plea for a big boost to support money for farms.

 

Farming Life tomorrow within the printed Weekend News Letter will of course be a Balmoral Special, and we will have more stories and videos and pictures online.

 

Enjoy your Friday,

Ben
