Bumper crop of visitors at royal show

The final Royal Show attracted almost 26,000 visitors to Stoneleigh Park on its first day, up from 24,000 in 2008.

Organised by the Royal Agricultural Society of England, the 160-year-old show runs for the last time this year. The society’s marketing director Denis Chamberlain believes the four-day event will be the biggest and best in recent years.

“Exhibitors are travelling from across the country and beyond to vie for a chance to take home a piece of history,” he says.
