Hundreds of people gathered in Great Bowden for the traditional Fernie Hunt’s Boxing Day meet.

The hunt, which can trace its Victorian roots all the way back to about 1870, continues to meet and carry out pre-set artificial scent trails after foxhunting was banned in 2004.

People from far and wide come to the the Harborough area for the Boxing Day gathering and this year saw another huge turnout.

The Fernie Hunt sets off from Great Bowden green.
