The presentation of prizes for the Great Windsor Duck Race took place at King Edward's Court. The race was held to raise funds for the Windsor Christmas Lights On the 28th June thousands of ducks were released as part of the Royal Windsor Midsummer Fayre. Most were  small ducks ( 2000 ) costing £2 each and the chance to win £500. Some were British Beefeater Ducks representing local businesses and costing £25. There is a prize of a case of Wine but this is more about giving to the local community and making Christmas 2008 one to remember the great lights!
