Stow-on-the-Wold Horse Fair

It's a tradition that goes back 500 years and unites thousands of gypsies for a day of horse trading in the north Cotswolds.

The Stow Horse Fair took place on Thursday 22 October 2009. It's also one of the few places where the traditional gypsy way of life is still on show.

BBC Points West's Steve Knibbs was there.
