A thousand people turned out to welcome the East Kent Foxhounds into Elham Square and to offer their support. A few had come along because they thought it might be the last opportunity but they were soon disabused of this misconception.

Amongst the supporters were the Rt. Hon. Michael Howard, leader of Her Majesty's opposition and Georgina Harland, Olympic Bronze medal winner at this year's Olympic games in Athens. Georgina, whose competes in the Modern Triathlon, grew up with the East Kent Hunt Pony Club and has hunted with the East Kent many times.

As the mounted field of some 75 left the Square one of the Amateur Whippers-in called, to rapturous applause, "See you next year!".

Some 15 anti-hunt protesters were apparently gathered at one end of the Square.
