Thousands take part in annual Shrovetide Football game - Daily Mail

Thousands gathered for the Royal Shrovetide Football match today, an adrenaline-fueled annual tradition with roots going back to at least the 12th century, in Ashbourne, Derbyshire (pictured, main and bottom right). Further north, a similar game takes place in Sedgefield, County Durham (top right), where there are fewer competitors but they take part with equal vigour.
