A DUCK race on the River Rother at Sheet has raised money for The Rosemary Foundation and other charities.

Organised by the Rotary Club of Waterlooville, the race saw about 600 ‘competitors’ float down the river on Saturday.

Rosemary Foundation general manager Jeremy Mitchell said: “It is truly wonderful how many local organisations and individuals support The Rosemary Foundation with events like this.

“This is the first duck race I have attended and I hope there will be many more.

“I would like to say a big thank you to Waterlooville Rotary Club for running this event and other funds they have raised for us through many years of support.”
