CROWDS gathered to watch Ledbury Hunt's annual Boxing Day meet.
The High Street was full of people yesterday morning (December 26) as they waited to see the horses and hounds.
The sun shone down on the hunt and there were hundreds of people in the crowd.
But protesters held placards in a line and were shouting "Shame on you" as the hunt gathered.

As supporters cheered and protesters booed, it was hard to hear what the huntsman was saying during his speech.
People were told to get to the pavements to make way for the hunt trotting down the street.
The huntsman blew his horn while the rest followed.
The big group of hounds were leading the pack.
People in support watched and cheered, while protesters continued to boo and shout.
When the hunt left morris men took to the streets and performed.
We approached Ledbury Hunt for a comment yesterday, but a spokesperson said they would respond in the coming days.
