Italian town hosts Battle of the Oranges
Thousands of people took to the streets of a quite town in Italy to pelt each other with fruit in a annual celebration.
The 'Battle of the Oranges' - which dates back to the Middle Ages - sees locals and tourists in Ivrea divided into nine teams for the massive food fight.
6,000 people spend hours throwing oranges at each other in the battle which represents rebellious commoners who threw away beans given to them by the feudal lord.
Bystanders who want to watch but not get hit by oranges are advised to buy and wear a red cap ... but the chances are with that many oranges flying around you will still end up orange and sticky, just like your new red cap.
While organizers say the festival is now a world away from its violent roots around 200 people were treated for cuts and bruises after this years event.
