Every August bank holiday in London for the past decade, hundreds of members of the LGBT community have been flocking to the Gay Sports Day at Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens behind the Royal Vauxhall Tavern – well, this year was no different as we witnessed the 10th annual Gay Sports Day, which took place on Monday 29th August, in support of GMFA, Vauxhall City Farm and Friends of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens and was hosted by the Royal Vauxhall Tavern.

Teams of five willing contenders, often dressed in the most inventive, satirical, topical or downright outlandish costumes, from superheroes to hairy fairies (click on the photo links below for inspiration), compete in a bunch of sporting events, some of which you haven’t had to do since primary school, while others… well, register a team for 2017 and see for yourself (hint: click on the ‘instructional video’ links above and below and you'll soon get the picture).

Timberlina hosted as per usual with her … unique sense of ‘justice and fair play’, expertly assisted as ever by two of sports broadcasting's leading lights – Rugby World Cup commentator Nick Heath and TalkSPORT's Bob Ballard.

Everything kicked off at 1.30pm with a procession of teams headed by the Mayor of Lambeth, Councillor Jaffer and Timberlina, and medals were awarded by 6pm -- see above for the medals.

Volunteering: do you have experience in event planning or stewarding? Is your address book bulging with celebrities that you could hit up for auction prizes? Can you make the links to get major sponsorship for this year's event?
