The Hoppings closed on Newcastle's Town Moor on Saturday night and by Sunday the first of the trucks were on their way to their next event.

These photographs by Owen Humpreys of the Press Association show the full extent of the rides, stalls, caravans, lorries, cars and motors that make up the huge annual event.
