Queen greeted by gurning champion

The Queen was greeted by a man who made faces at her as she met the world gurning champion on a visit to Cumbria. She was in Whitehaven to mark the town's 300th anniversary when she was treated to a special performance by Tommy Mattinson.



Mr Mattinson, a master of the art of pulling faces while sticking his head through a horse collar, won the title at the Egremont crab apple fair.
