'Unofficial' cheese rolling event at Coopers Hill

An annual cheese rolling contest in which contestants chase cheese down a steep hill has gone ahead despite officially being cancelled.
The event at Coopers Hill in Gloucestershire was called off on health and safety grounds after 15,000 people attended last year.
Officials feared the event could not host so many people safely.
Despite the warnings, more than 100 people were believed have attended an unauthorised cheese-rolling event.
More than 11,000 people have joined a campaign to bring back the event.
