A seven-year-old Lhasa apso has been named best in show at Crufts 2012.

Thousands of dogs and their owners descended on the Birmingham NEC for the intense four-day event where animals were judged on presentation, discipline and agility.

Elizabeth, owned by Margaret Anderson, from Coventry, was named the best of 21,000 entrants.

Ms Anderson said: "I'm sure it hasn't sunk in at all. I'll go home and probably burst our crying."

International Business Times UK presents the best pictures of the competition's last days.
