Harry brings home the double at annual Pancake Day Race
Funeral Director, Harry Hamlin once again brought home the frying pan shaped Tillions Trophy to Dignity owned C S Bowyer after winning the annual pancake day race for the second year in a row.

"This is the fourth time I have entered and the second time that I've won, it’s not as easy as it looks. Flipping the pancake is the most difficult thing."
Harry was presented with the Tillions Trophy by the town's mayor, Cllr David Garwood.
Councillor David Garwood
"It's fantastic that this event has been going for 30 years. It's one of the great community events in Bradford on Avon and it's nice to see so many people out to watch it taking place."
