The two-day showcase of agriculture and rural life – which regularly attracts about 50,000 visitors – opened at 9am at the Shrewsbury showground.

Show chairman Annie Home-Dodd said: “I warmly welcome everyone to the 2009 show. What a unique show it is, being the 120th in our long history and particularly special for me as I have the honour of being its first ever lady chairman.”
