Gypsies and travellers have arrived in Appleby for the start of the annual Appleby Horse Fair.
Members of the gypsy and traveller community have travelled from far and wide to attend the event, from all over the UK, Ireland, and further afield.
Furthermore, an additional 20,000 people are expected to attend for three days of trade, competition, and festivities.
It is considered to be the biggest gypsy horse fair in Europe.
The fair runs from the beginning of June.
