Giant pumpkins starred at Ashford Allotment Society’s annual show on Saturday.

Organisers of the event, held in the Westrees allotments in Quantock Drive near Highworth Grammar School, invited growers to enter pumpkins of all shapes and sizes.

The categories included heaviest, both single and matched pair, the most unusual and children’s award.

But the Ashford pumpkins pale into insignificance compared to the biggest pumpkin ever grown.

That accolade belongs to Mathias Willemijns, of Belgium, who gew a pumpkin weighing 1,190.49 kg (2,624.6 lb) in 2016.

His massive pumpkin took the record from the 1,054-kg (2,323-lb) giant grown by Swiss farmer Beni Meier in 2014.
