The Lithuanian village of Ramygala held its annual goat beauty contest on Sunday, the top prize going to a 16-month-old female goat called Demyte, or "Little Spot".

About 500 people braved the summer heat to attend the parade in honour of the goat, a traditional symbol of the northern village. The pageant included a marching band, dancers in fancy costumes and a "king" and "queen" presiding over ceremonies.
