PEOPLE in Bradford on Avon will be going quackers on Easter Monday when the town's 15th annual duck race takes place.

Plastic yellow ducks have been on sale for the last few weeks and will be released into the River Avon near the town bridge at noon on Monday.

The ducks will race down stream to the swimming pool.

Event organiser Jon Durrant said: "The duck race has now become a tradition. We have 465 ducks we managed to retrieve them all last year but there are not many left. We cannot guarantee there will be any ducks on sale on the day. If there are people will be able to buy them in Westbury Gardens from 11am."

A donation from the proceeds of the event will go to Bradford on Avon Swimming Club.
