"HUNTING is proving as popular as ever if the crowds that thronged the streets in Stratton on New Year's Day are anything to go by," commented a spokesman for the Tetcott Hunt.

People of all ages stood three and four deep on the pavements to show their support at the Tetcott Hunt's traditional meet at the Tree Inn, Stratton, kindly hosted by licensees Emma and Bob Semple.
