The Spanish city of Pamplona banned World Cup vuvuzela trumpets on the eve of its famous bull run yesterday, with the deafening instrument already popular ahead of Spain's football semi-final.
Unpleasant
The trumpets would produce "unpleasant and dangerous noise for neighbours," the mayor said, the day before the annual San Fermin festival begins, which involves the famous bull run through the streets of Pamplona.
With Spain playing Germany tomorrow for a place in the World Cup final, football excitement will no doubt mix with the festival activities.
During the bull run crowds race ahead of a pack of animals that thunder along a course through urban streets to the town bullring, where a bullfight is staged.
