Man dies in Pamplona bull run

(07 July 2008)

A young man has died after falling from a 30m (100ft) wall during the first day of the annual bull run in Pamplona.

The man, who is believed to be Irish, died on Sunday after falling from the ancient wall in Redin whilst watching the festivities.

Thousands of people crowd into Pamplona each year to celebrate Spain's most famous bull run, with many drinking heavily.

An American man and his Spanish girlfriend also accidently fell to their deaths at the same spot last year.
