Yesterday, the Earl of Essex entered the 'Gloucestershire Cheese-Rolling Contest' & the 'Tetbury Woolsack Race'.

At the annual cheese-rolling festival, Reginald Fah-Fah chased cheese down a steep hill and his monacle got to the bottom first.

Cheese-rolling at Coopers Hill in Gloucestershire was called off  as police feared the event could not host thousands of  people safely. Despite the warnings, more than 100 people along with Reginald attended the unauthorised cheese-rolling contest. Reginald has also joined approximately 11,000 people campaigning to officially bring back the event.

After the cheese-rolling contest, up to 1,000 people were estimated to have turned up to watch Reginald Fah-Fah take part in the Woolsack Race in Tetbury. The Woolsack Race involved Reginald running up a steep hill carrying a heavy sack.

Reginald said: " These events are mediaeval traditions which go back thousands of years in British history. Bloody Marvellous, I managed to carry a 27kg (60lb) woolsack."
