Whether you’re planning on having yours with sugar, lemon juice or a different filling, plenty of us will be tucking into pancakes throughout today. But have you tested your flipping skills outside of the kitchen and taken part in a traditional pancake race in the past?

We have been browsing through the Watford Observer’s picture archive and are serving up some pictures that we’ve captured of those races staged in Watford, Rickmansworth and some schools in the past 15 years.

Scroll down this page and enjoy looking through the pictures again, particuarly if you took part or demonstrated your flipping prowess by winning.

We’d also like to see and hear about the tasty treats you’re cooking up for Shrove Tuesday. Get in touch by using the link at the bottom of this page.
