Crowds descend on the Staffordshire County Show

But there were complaints of long queues of traffic to get into the event held on Wednesday and today (Thursday).

Competition was fierce in the Best in Show competitions where farmers, gardeners, dog owners and florists battled for victory.

Doors opened at 8am at the County Showground in Weston Road, Stafford, and organises branded the show a success saying people were having "a great day out" at the showground.

A show spokesman said: "Once again, the sun shone on the 100-acre site, and the atmosphere was simply electric with many trade stands entering into the Jubilee spirit adorning their stands with flags and bunting.

"Fancy dress parades and the jubilee parade were a lovely tribute to The Queen. The livestock entries were up on previous years and the Grand Parade was a real testimony to British Agriculture with the finest champion animals paraded for all to see."

Visitors were blessed with sunny weather on both days and the exhibitions, competitions and events were all well attended.

However, the show's Facebook page had several complaints about the congestion around the event.

Lola Yates said: "We’ve sat in a traffic jam with horses on board for two hours. If could get a refund would have gone home or free tickets."

Rachel Bailey said:"Please can someone sort the traffic out. It's terrible, we've been over an hour queuing and still have 3 miles to go. I'd turn round if we can get a refund for our ticket."

However, the people who got in said the event was wonderful and an entertaining day out.

James Naylor said: "The kids loved it and loved seeing all the displays and the animals which are very well looked after. The monster trucks were their favourite. We will be attending again next year."
