The event, which was cancelled last year owing to Covid, will take place at its usual home, the NEC Birmingham.

“Along with exceptional competition and displays, the first part of the week is packed with all the fan favourites including mountain and moorland classes on Wednesday to Friday, national showjumping championships on Thursday, and the prestigious Price family supreme in-hand championship showcasing on Friday.”
THE Court of Appeal has refused to increase the sentence of a Cwmbran pensioner jailed for strangling his wife to death days into the first UK lockdown. Anthony Williams told police he “literally choked the living daylights” out of his wife Ruth, 67, at their Torfaen home on the morning of March 28 last year, after he “snapped” following a period of feeling depressed and anxious. Williams, 70, was jailed for five years in February after he was cleared of murder by a jury but had previously admitted manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility. During the sentencing at Swansea Crown Court, Judge Paul Thomas said it was a “tragic case on several levels” and that Williams’s mental state was “severely affected at the time”.

He was cleared of her murder in February and jailed for five years after admitting manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility.
Williams told police he “literally choked the living daylights” out of his wife on the morning of 28 March last year. He told them he “snapped” after a period of depression and anxiety and began strangling his wife in their bed after she told him to “get over it”.
