Revellers paint the town red in tomato festival

Tens of thousands of revellers spattered each other with juicy, red tomatoes today in one of Spain’s most popular summer festivals – La Tomatina.

Some 40,000 people, fuelled by wine and beer, hurled and kicked hundreds of thousands of tomatoes around the streets of Bunol, covering each other and the tiny village in tomato juice and pulp during the event.
