An annual York dragon boat race is on track for a record-breaking year after teams battled it out on the River Ouse.
The York Rotary Dragon Boat Challenge on Sunday, July 14, involved 36 teams which raced in heats before a grand final involving the six top teams.
The racing took place between Scarborough Bridge and Lendal Bridge, with competitors packed onto one bank and a gala with stalls, tents and gazebos in Museum Gardens on the other.
Brian Joscelyne, York Rotary Dragon Boat organising team co-leader, said the race had already collected £85,000 for charity with more to come.
