Another year, another brutal day of people chasing a wheel of cheese down a very steep hill.
The UK's Spring Bank Holiday on Monday marked the return of the annual Gloucestershire cheese rolling contest, which sees competitors lining up at the top of Cooper's Hill to race after a three-kilogram wheel of Double Gloucester.
The day consists of multiple races, the result of which is a few people winning a wheel of cheese and many, many wince-inducing photos.
