Dozens of marbles players from as far afield as the US and Algeria descended on a Sussex pub for the annual British and World Marbles Championships.
Nineteen teams with six players met at the Greyhound Pub in Tinsley Green for the Good Friday event.
It has been held there since 1932 and follows in the tradition of the game dating back to the 16th Century.
The team winners were 1st MC Erzgebirg from Germany - who had taken the world title five times previously.
