All you need to know about Alyth and District Agricultural Show
The summer agricultural event season is in full swing and thousands of people are expected to descend on a field in Perthshire for one of the next bumper instalments.
Alyth and District Agricultural Show is on at Bogles Field, Essendy Road, Blairgowrie, next Saturday (June 14) from 8.30am-6.30pm.
Visitors will find cattle, sheep, horses, donkeys, vintage tractors, trade and food/drink stands, children's activities, Highland dancing, a dog show and a pipe band in full flow.
Alyth Show started in the 1940s, later becoming Alyth and District Agricultural Show.
It grew steadily over the years and in the late 80s was deemed to be too large for its site at Diamond Jubilee Park, Alyth .
So, it moved to a local field in 1990 and was then rotated between different farms.
The annual event has been held at Bogles Field, Blairgowire, most years since 2013.
This year's show president, Peter Mitchell, told us about a new addition to the roster.
He said: 'We are delighted to be hosting a display of around 15 Caterpillars (agricultural machinery) at this year's show to celebrate 100 years of Caterpillar.
'Some of the models will be competing in our vintage section and parade.
'But many will be on display to provide an amazing showcase of these magnificent machines in their centenary year.'
Pooches can be entered into the 2pm 'companion' dog show, including pedigree and novelty classes, any time up until 1pm.
Peter added: 'We also take on-the-day entries for our horse sections.
'And in our unaffiliated show jumping classes, we have five classes catering for all ages and abilities, with entries taken on the day also.'
Show secretary Gail Robertson said there were already 45 entries in the cattle classes, 160 for sheep categories, 80 in the horse, pony and donkey sections and 55 for vintage tractors, implements and engines.

One person wrote: "Waited a while for this to come back in stock, had to pay for delivery as click and collect was not available for this item. "Arrived well packaged but still a couple of the metal heart shapes were bit bent and had bits of paint scuffed, decided to keep it as it was and just touched the paint up in places." Another shopper had a similar experience, adding: "I had been searching for a piece of art work for my daughter's newly decorated bedroom. This was the only thing that I could find that she liked but it was out of stock. We waited a few months and ordered as soon as we got the alert to say it was back in stock. "Unfortunately one of the hearts had a couple of holes in it, but we returned it without a problem. Fortunately they were still in stock and the second one was perfect." Despite this, the vast majority of people praised the wall art, as one shopper commented: "Lovely piece of wall art. Finishes off my bedroom perfectly. Love it."

Peter Andre shows off new hairstyle as Junior gives opinion of dad's new look
Peter Andre took to social media to show off his latest new look and was met with a huge wave of praise by fans - including his oldest son, Junior, 19 Peter Andre surprised fans with a new trim haircut. The Mysterious Girl singer, 52, stunned with his new look, with son Junior among those praising his switch-up. The dad-of-five is best known for keeping his wavy hair combed up recently - following his iconic curtains style when he burst onto the scene in the '90s. However, he showed off his new curly offering, much to the delight of his Instagram followers. Sharing the portrait headshot to his social media channel, the star was seen smiling as he donned his curly cut, with a few strands dropping down on his forehead. He asked his followers in the caption of the upload: "Embrace the curl?" Praising his dad, Junior, 19, gushed: "My dad's a handsome guy man. Levendis!!" He added a crying with laughter emoji as well as a love heart. Pete's fans were also clearly loving the look. Another wrote: "Yes ... and the suggestion of silver grey ... it suits you," while a second added: "Love you with curls Peter," alongside a flame and fire emoji. A third jokingly penned: "MYSTERIOUS CURLS!!!!," and a fourth said: "Plot twist: the curl embraced you." While Junior was fully supportive of his dad, the Australian singer showed the close-knit ties of his family as he praised his daughter Princess' huge career move. Pete shares his two eldest kids with ex-wife Katie Price. Now, their 17-year-old daughter is set to get her own taste of fame as she will be the centre of a fly-on-the-wall show. And dad Peter couldn't be more proud. Speaking to the Mirror last month, Peter beamed: "We've been filming for Princess's new reality show and it's been great fun for us all. Obviously, as a family we're no strangers to reality TV - but I'm so proud of what Princess is doing now. I think people are going to really enjoy seeing it. "There's a few surprises in there, too, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone, so you'll have to watch it when it comes out - sorry!" And the family also rallied around Peter when his latest movie was criticised. Peter's s film role on Jafaican sparked fierce debate online, with critics accusing it of cultural insensitivity - while he defends it as just 'acting' The family were seen at the Genesis Cinema for the private VIP event of the movie's release and posed for photographs ahead of the much-discussed film's debut. In the film, Peter plays a character named Gary Buckle - also known as 'Gazza' . The character is a London scammer who adopts a Jamaican identity to pull off a transatlantic fraud.
