The British never seem to miss an opportunity to put on fancy dress and take on something decidedly different.

Whether it's panto or a marathon, if it can be done in costume, we'll do it. And the humble raft race fits right into that fun category.

I'm not sure who is having the best time in these photos - from the Erbistock raft races of 1979 and 1965 - the competitors or the crowd.

But let's hope it's not too long before we can enjoy such events again.

Recognise yourself or others in any of these photos? Don't forget to tag friends or family if you spot them.

Do you have photos from the past you would like to share?

Old school class pictures, maybe your Scout, Brownies or sports group, a village carnival or special celebration.

Perhaps you have team photos from days of sporting glory.
