A celebrity chef has taken up his ancient right to herd sheep over a London bridge. Richard Corrigan, who owns multiple restaurants in the city, walked over Southwark Bridge behind nine sheep on Sunday as part of the 10th London Sheep Drive fundraising event.

There are 45,000 sheep farmers in the UK and employment in the industry is worth around £290million to the economy. Mr Corrigan, from County Meath in Ireland, said he felt "a deep sense of pride" from participating in the "lovely, beautiful, symbolic moment".
