Participants run with a burning barrel soaked in tar at the annual Tar Barrel Festival in Ottery St Mary, Devon last night, November 6, 2024. The Tar Barrel festival is said to have originated in the 17th century and sees competitors, who must be born in the town, run through the streets until the heat becomes unbearable or the tar-soaked barrel breaks.
