Robert HardingThis Monday (8th September) saw residents of the village of Abbots Bromley in Staffordshire perform the eccentric Abbots Bromley Horn Dance, an English folk tradition dating back to the Middle Ages. The dancers make their way around the village wearing reindeer antlers accompanied by a hobby horse, a woman dressed as Maid Marion, a jester and an accordion player.
