WHILE the sun wasn’t shining it was quacking weather for the annual Warrington & Latchford Duck Race on the River Mersey.
The threat of rain and heavy showers didn’t deter large crowds from turning out at the event at Warrington Rowing Club.
There were craft stalls, fairground rides, burgers, ice cream and other activities on the river bank to entertain the assembled crowd.

Deputy Mayor, Cllr. Mo. Hussain was on hand to launch the event with Warrington North MP Charlotte Nichols also on hand to help retrieve the ducks.

Charlotte Nichols MP assisting with retrieving the ducks
A great turnout for The Great Warrington Duck Race today, in aid of the Warrington Pyjama Appeal. 'Fishing all the ducks out of the Mersey' duty with @WarringtonRowC was oddly satisfying too, like a giant hook-a-duck 🦆🎣
Thank you to everyone who made the event such a success! pic.twitter.com/r8FDGwdECI
