Done all of the unplugging and plugging of appliances several times to try and find which one is tripping the circuit out but to no avail. I am starting to think that there must be some fault on the ring causing it.
Last night I left the fridge and freezer plugged in and the circuit tripped. I have had them unplugged before when the circuit has also tripped so there is no fault that I can see with them. However, the fridge and freezer are on a spur so I took the front plate off and all looks good (no loose wires etc.) so I traced that back to a socket but it went to a junction box that had 4 cables entering or exiting. 2 of these went to double sockets, one for the fridge and freezer and one used on the worktop for small appliances. This one on the worktop had a further spur coming off it. it struck me as not right and I wondered if this was the source of an issue. I have attached pictures. Not touching it, for a start it's in the kitchen and I don't have part P but wanted to know some thoughts in any before calling in an electrician.
