The Mayor Cllr Peter Green was ready to throw the first bun.
And here are the sea of faces ready for the buns. The church bells starting ringing, and the buns started raining down.
And here is just one of the 4500 buns being launched (to celebrate the 450th anniversary of the Abingdon charter)…
and being chased down below (as featured on Abingdon Wikipedia).
Then people like the Gottfrieds here (from the World of Bun Throwing Blog) took home their bounty.

Hello,
We were at the bun throwing on Saturday and our report can be found here:

If there were 4500 buns thrown then that takes our overall haul percentage down to 0.6111%!!!
Cheers,
Richard
Hi,
We are currently working on a restaurant project in abingdon and i am looking for photos relating to the bun throw to use as artworks.
Is this something you can help with? Obviously any photos used would be duly credited etc.
Many thanks in advance!
