DOGS, budgerigars, ducklings and guinea pigs were among the creatures brought along to be blessed at an animal blessing service at Studley Parish Church.

Unfortunately, two regular attendees, 100-year-old tortoises, were unable to attend as they were taking early hibernation.

Reader Pat Wheeler led us in singing and prayers and we all enjoyed ourselves taking part in such a worthwhile, compassionate service.

All proceeds went to Carole Webb's farm animal rescue sanctuary, Woolley Park Farm, Wolverton, near Stratford.
