The annual cheese-rolling event at Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire took place despite objections from the local health and safety board, which cited concerns about the event's danger and the strain on emergency services. Participants, including international competitors, braved the steep hill to chase a Double Gloucester cheese wheel. The event, known for its high risk and injuries, saw a German man win the first prize. The tradition, held on the Bank Holiday, continues to draw significant attention and participation. The first Men's Downhill Race was a highlight, and the event was covered by BBC News.
