45 pictures from the Malvern Autumn Show as gardeners break 6 giant vegetable world records

Gardeners have broken six giant vegetable world records at the Malvern Autumn Show - including an enormous 7.8m (25ft) radish and a whopping 8m (26ft) runner bean plant.

More than 65,000 people are expected to flock to the Three Counties Showground this weekend to catch a glimpse of the giant produce on display. Among the winners is veteran grower Peter Glazebrook, 81, who bagged top prize for the world's tallest runner bean plant and the longest aubergine.

His runner bean plant measured an impressive 8m (26ft) tall while his aubergine weighed 4.3kg and was 49cm long. Other winners include Joe Atherton with his 7.8 metre long radish and Kevin & Gareth Fortey with their longest sweet pepper at 26.7cm.

Graham Barratt also claimed a new record with his 11.6 (38ft) metre tall luffa plant. Elsewhere, Chris Marriott took the top prize for the world's heaviest Celeriac, weighing an impressive 8.01kg (1.2 stone).
