Keen amateur photographer Maggie White has won the Beaulieu River photo competition for the third time with her action-packed sailing picture.

This year’s winning entry, Messing About on the River, is in contrast to previous atmospheric sunset shots.

Maggie, a member of Beaulieu Camera Group, has beaten hundreds of rivals with her winning entries, chosen by Lord Montagu.
