Hundreds of people gathered in Thirsk today in support of farmers unhappy about inheritance tax changes affecting family farms.
It came as thousands of farmers travelled to London for a rally against the planned changes.
The recent budget announcement means that previously exempt farms worth more than £1m would have to pay an inheritance tax of 20 per cent – half the usual rate of 40 per cent – from April 2026.
Vet Peter Wright, star of the Yorkshire Vet TV series, was among those who gathered in the Market Place.
