Torrential rain blighted a Beaufort Hunt fundraiser, but they still managed to raise thousands for charity.

A cheque for £2000 was presented to The Royal British Legion`s Gloucestershire chairman, Brian Hewitt, by the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort - it marked the beginning of December.

Largely, donations came from the proceeds of the annual Badminton Ride, it took place on the Badminton Estate in September.

The hunt supports a different charity every year and many turned up to support The Royal British Legion despite the conditions.
