A HEREFORDSHIRE village has been home to a family running the last horse-drawn show in the country.
The Sanger family pitched up at Dormington for a couple of days last week, where they were welcomed by locals after a serious road accident, said a spokesperson from the parish council.
Headed by well-known musician and showman David Sanger, the family were joined by a documentary filmmaker who had been travelling with them off and on for two years.

But the grazing of their horses has been bad this year so the family were topped up with hay and water that was donated by people in the area, said the council spokesperson.
Mr Sanger has travelled thousands of miles across the country over the years with his procession of travelling actors, musicians, and performers.
In 2017, according to the Isle of Thanet News, he had travelled more than 300 miles to lead the Margate Carnival with members of his travelling show.
