Sheep replace kids

Inflatable sheep and a toy orangutan had to replace children as the jockeys in an annual donkey derby after insurers refused to cover the event.

The race has been held in Llandudno every summer for 39 years with parents previously signing disclaimer forms.

But organisers Llandudno Rugby Club were advised this could not continue and when no insurance could be found they were forced to resort to "Plan B".

Club chairman Robin Holden said a lot of children had been left disappointed.
