"This follows consultation with the RSPCA who advise people NOT to travel to the show with their dogs.

"Temperatures are looking to be in the 30+ degree range, so people should refrain from walking their dogs in that heat. Sadly, this means an end to all our Dog Section activities and a number of events in the main ring.

"Rest assured, there will still be lots for you, your family and friends to see and enjoy."
