ST GEORGE'S Day has been celebrated across the region.
The Dog and Duck pub in Linton features an impressive image of St George and the dragon on its roof and a Viking encampment was set up by the Hereward Vanguard group over the weekend at the Australian Arms pub in Haverhill.
Scouts from St Ives turned to Doctor Who to help celebrate the day and the 100th anniversary of Scouting.
Just like the Doctor the Scouts travelled back in time - to the first experimental camp on Brownsea Island in 1907 - and then started to head for the future through the formation of the Cubs in 1916, the Beavers in 1987, and becoming fully co-educational with girls this year.
The series of plays, sketches and musical items written by Explorer Scouts from the Cromwell District, was performed as part of the St George's Day celebrations.
More than 400 Cromwell District Scouts, led by Peterborough Pipe Band, paraded from the Broadway in St Ives town centre to the Burgess Hall where they saw the Back to the Future meets Doctor Who show.
They were amongst thousands of Scouts from across the region who marked St George's Day.
In Ely there was a parade from the Market Square followed by a service at the cathedral, the construction of a centenary gateway on Palace Green and a "virtual" campfire in the cathedral.
Scouts from the St Neots area paraded from the Market Square to the parish church for a service of celebration and at Little Abingdon Scouts took part in activities at the county campsite.
