A TEAM of 15 hunt supporters and countryside workers from the Ledbury area was due to travel to London today (Friday) to take part in a vigil at the Houses of Parliament.
The vigil has been organised by the Countryside Alliance to illustrate its strong opposition to a hunting ban.
Tim Lewin, Joint Master of Ledbury Hunt, said: "We're travelling down to London to show the Government that we are determined and committed to fighting them on this issue.
"We also want members of the public to realise how important hunting is to the countryside and rural communities. A ban on hunting would have a devastating effect on our local communities."
