.WHAT HAPPENED IN 2019:
A large crowd gathered on the bank of the River Thames to witness Walton's first Duckathon. Local Liberal Democrat candidate Monica Harding started the race. The location of the finish line was determined after the start because of the unpredictability of river flow and wind!. The sight of 800 ducks took other river users by surprise. Enjoy the pictures!
