Thousands of hounds and their owners turned out for one of the biggest dog days in East Anglia.
The fifth Essex Dog Day took place yesterday in Hatfield Peverel on glorious grounds of Crix, the Georgian mansion, attracting canines from far and wide.
From giant four-legged friends to tiny toy pets, handsome pedigrees to cheerful crossbreeds, all were paraded round the showground.
