At The Royal Highland Show on Saturday
More than 150 animals took part in the parade across the event's Main Ring. The Grand Parade takes place once again on the Sunday of the Show at 2.30pm.
Awards were handed out to 15 winners who are leading the way in agricultural innovation. Winners included Graintek UK for their baby portable grain dryer, the smallest mobile dryer in the world and New Holland for their T6 methane power tractor, which offers a more sustainable way of working.
David Tennant, Head of Show, said: 'There has been an incredible atmosphere on site today and the Saturday of the Show is always a really special one with The Grand Parade taking place – it's such a spectacle for visitors to experience. It's also been a delight to see lots more families at the Show today enjoying Tractor Ted, Mini Rovers and our Countryside Arena.
'The Sunday of the Show will see our Members Village being opened to the public to showcase a whole host of entertainment, from Edinburgh Military Tattoo artists, magician, Elliott Bibby and live music – it looks set to be a superb Sunday!'

Small English market town on the edge of the Cotswolds that tourists forget about – despite being in two huge TV shows
Plus, the nearby city that is home to a hit Netflix period series PICTURE PERFECT Small English market town on the edge of the Cotswolds that tourists forget about – despite being in two huge TV shows Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TUCKED away in Wiltshire is a historic market town used as a backdrop for famous TV series starring Aidan Turner and David Tennant. Corsham in Wiltshire has once again been turned into a TV backdrop, but it still isn't the most popular spot in the Cotswolds. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Corsham in Wiltshire has cobbled cottages and is used for filming TV shows Credit: Alamy 5 David Tennant was recently spotted filming scenes for Netflix's Rivals Credit: Alamy The Cotswolds town has cobbled stone cottages, grand country manors and a quaint high street full of independent shops. Its old-fashioned look makes it the perfect backdrop for period dramas - which is why it's been used by two separate productions. The cast of Rivals have most recently returned to Corsham according to the BBC with stars like David Tennant, Emily Atack and Danny Dyer returning to the town. In the high street, the shop fronts have been tweaked to appear in the time period of the late 1980s. The local Boots has been turned into an old-fashioned Waitrose and the town hall has been transformed into a polling station. Classic cars have also been seen lining the streets to give the impression of the 1980s. This isn't the first time that Corsham has seen A-list actors in its streets, it was where half of Poldark was filmed. Corsham was transformed into 18th century Truro when Aidan Turner, dressed as Captain Ross Poldark, came to the town. During this time, there were horses in the streets, cattle and even sheep. The Flemish Weaves pub was the base for the leading actors, while the extras ended up staying at the Town Hall.

Around the town there are peacocks that roam the streets freely. Their actual home is in Corsham Court, but they do sometimes head into the town too. There are plenty of extravagant places too including Corsham Court. The privately owned stately home has a huge art collection, there are also huge gardens - which you can explore for a fee of £12.50. Another is 23 Pickwick which is a Grade II listed country home in Corsham - and you can even book it out. It has a sweeping staircase, an open fire and sash windows. The cottage is a short drive away from the Georgian Spa town of Bath, which features in many of the outdoor scenes in Bridgerton. The city of Bath is just a 30-minute drive, which is where parts of the Bridgerton series were filmed, and it's the only UNESCO site in the country. In Corsham is also home to The Pound Arts theatre where locals regularly put on performances. There are also comedy shows, busking and showings of films. Here's a Bridgerton-like manor that you can stay in with all your mates in the UK - with its own lake and cinema room. And Sun Travel visited the tiny English village you can only visit once a year.
