Parish finishes 1204 celebrations
Celebrations to mark Jersey's 800 years of links with the British Crown come to an end in an island parish on Saturday.

St Ouen's Manor is holding a medieval feast at the end of a week of events which has seen pageants, as well as music and drama concerts.

During the day, a donkey derby will be held in the grounds of St Ouen's manor.

Islanders will be able to throw sponges at the parish's Constable and Deputy, and senior politician Senator Ted Vibert will be in the stocks.

For the donkey derby, 14 animals have been brought over from Surrey to be ridden by jockeys from Jersey's Pony Club.
