THIS past week at Danby Agricultural Show, I saw grown men and women crying when it was announced from the show ring that we were watching the Glaisdale foxhounds for the last time.

The hunt after centuries is being disbanded for ever, even the foxhounds seemed to have tears in their eyes.

Shame on all politicians who set up an inquiry on foxhunting with dogs and because they didn't like the finding of Lord Burns went against his recommendation and voted for a ban.
