An “annual favourite” dog show has been cancelled due to the searing weather forecast.
One of the centrepieces of The Kings Langley Carnival tomorrow (June 24) has been called off due to “expected temperatures of 28 degrees plus”.
The decision was made today by the Forever Hounds Trust, which runs the show, as the Met Office warned of a possible heatwave in the South and East of England this weekend.

A statement on the carnival website said: “It is with huge regret that the dog show at tomorrow’s Kings Langley Carnival is not happening.”
It added: “We know this will disappoint many people as it brings many dog owners and families to the common but the welfare of the animals has to be paramount.
“We hope to still see many people attending the carnival and enjoying what proposes to be a fantastic day.”
Carnival goers are still set to enjoy fun in the sun with sold out spaces for stalls, music, dance, and a world record attempt all still on the programme.
