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

The hunt, which can trace its Victorian roots back to about 1870, continues to meet and carry out artificial scent trails after fox hunting was banned in 2004.

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