Dogs of all shapes and sizes were entered into a light-hearted competition in Folkestone on Saturday.

The Bangers and Buskers fun day, the first of its kind on The Leas, attracted dozens of furry friends.

It was arranged by Folkestone Festivals, a group keen to see more community events held in the town.

The most popular breed seen on the day were dachshunds, and Maggie, pictured, won the prettiest bitch category.

Bands also played at the Bandstand and meaty bangers were served up by volunteers on the day.

A statement from Folkestone Festivals said: "What a brilliant day the town had, the sun was shining and all the pooches were on top form, as were the buskers.

"There were classic cars, plenty of bangers in all shapes and form and the town crier.

"It was an excellent turn out and a huge thank you to all who helped and to those who took part, you were amazing.

"The highlight has to be the sausage eating competition, it was great fun."
