Half-naked revellers pelted each other with tomatoes and bathed in red goo on Wednesday in Spain's Tomatina, a fiesta that draws thousands each year for "the world's biggest food fight".
Locals and visitors from as far away as Australia, Japan and the United States crammed into the eastern town of Bunol as mushy tomatoes flew in every direction in a world-famous orgy of mush.
The Tomatina started in 1945 when locals brawling at a folk festival seized tomatoes from a greengrocer's stall and let loose.

Google has posted a doodle on its home page commemorating the 70th anniversary of the event.
