A papillon named Dylan has been crowned Best in Show at the 2019 Crufts dog show.

The winning canine beat six other finalists to claim the show's top honour on Sunday.

Dylan, owned by Kathleen Roosens, was also named winner of the Toy group earlier in the four-day dog show.

About 27,000 dogs were expected to attend the event, with more than 200 different breeds vying for a place in the final.

Judge Dan Ericsson said: "I was spoilt for choice but my eyes were drawn to this beautiful dog that has everything you look for in the breed, plus personality."
