Sir David Fagan took to the handpiece again for a rather different kind of event – shearing a ponytail for export.
The shearing legend used a crank-powered handpiece to shave the head of local and former England World Championships woolhandling representative Natalie Crisp.

A 24-year-old sheep shearer from New Zealand has shattered the women s shearing record - clipping 661 lambs in nine hours.
Megan Whitehead sheared the 34-36kg lambs at an average of just 49 seconds each, according to Shearing Sports NZ, the governing body for competitions.
The record was broken on Wednesday 13 January at the Grant Brothers’ Gore woolshed.
She was chasing the previous record of 648 set in 2007 by fellow Kiwi shearer Emily Welch.
Welch and other female shearing legends were both among the hundreds who urged Whitehead on during the day.
