THE Monmouth Show is an annual celebration of rural life - its trades, talents and tastes. For over 200 years visitors have flocked to see main ring displays and parades, a variety of animals, crafts and try great food. Sadly, the pandemic stopped the show this year. So here's a look back at the show in 2003 from our archive of images.
