This is Devon

THIS Boxing Day the South Devon Hunt will meet as usual continuing a tradition going back 200 years.

The hunt was founded by George Templer of Stover in 1810 and the hounds still go out three times a week. Banned from killing foxes in 2004, activities now include following a scented trail or flushing rabbits and foxes to an eagle owl.

Today's pictures recall Boxing Day meets going back to the 1950s. These are timeless pictures as the settings, colour and clothing haven't changed.
