Flooding has caused the abandonment of Huntingdon's popular St Stephen's Day meeting.

Parts of the home straight are under water after brooks surrounding the track burst their banks, according to clerk of the course Michael Prosser.

"I have spoken to the Environment Agency and they are forecasting further floods in the area," he said.

"We are expecting rain every day for the next four days so we don't want to mess people around and have decided to abandon."
