THE Langdon Beck Show is now a firm fixture on the rural calendar after an absence of more than 100 years.
Hundreds of people flocked to a tiny field at Forest-in-Teesdale, County Durham, at the weekend to support the event.
The show, which attracted an entry of more than 30 in the sheep classes, was the fifth to be held since it was revived by local farmers.
