Ferrets of all shapes and colours were the stars of a Timperley show.

Over 100 animals and their doting owners came together for the National Ferret Welfare Society show to vie for top prizes including the coveted ‘best in show’ title.

Judge Sheila Crompton said: "I would say we had at least 136 ferrets there and a further 100 people.

"The event went very well – we hold it once a year as it is also our AGM.

"People travel from all over the country to come to these shows."
