Thousands gathered for the annual Cheese-Rolling and Wake at Cooper's Hill in Brockworth, Gloucestershire on Monday, many flinging themselves down a steep hill after a wheel of cheese. People from around the world flocked to the event to witness participants chasing a 9 lb (4kg) wheel of Double Gloucester cheese down a hill. The local rugby team stood guard to catch people and help those injured in the event.
