ROMSEY town centre was filled with colour and chaos last night as the traditional Bed Race returned for another year.

The hotly-anticipated race was contested by 12 beds, taking on various different obstacles in scenes of organised chaos on Friday, July 15.

This gallery features 19 of the best photos from the event, which was organised to race money for various local charities.

From Del Boy, Rodney and Uncle Albert to teams of paramedics and rugby players, the bed race was truly a sight to behold.

Speaking before the event, carnival chairman John Ray said: "The bed race has really come alive. We brought it back after four or five years and it has become one of our best events.

"It always gets a brilliant response, with thousands of people coming to the square to watch last year."
