Day Two of Hampshire's biggest summer spectacular gets under way today.
The New Forest and Hampshire Show attracts tens of thousands of spectators over the next three days.
Last year's event drew a record crowd of 105,000 and the 2016 line-up is expected to result in another bumper attendance.
Yesterday long queues built on roads surrounding the huge showground at New Park, Brockenhurst, including the A337 from Cadnam.
Equestrian classes are being staged in the main rings.
This year's main attraction, the Metropolitan Police Mounted Branch Activity Ride, is due to start at 1.30pm. The horse and their riders will perform a variety of stunts, including jumping through hoops of fire and leaping through paper walls.
