HORDES of four-legged friends got into the Jubilee spirit at the Bowes Museum this weekend.

From Royal corgis, to cute cockapoos and dashing dachshunds, scores of dogs and their owners descended on the estate on Saturday to take part in a Jubilee Celebration day of all things four-legged and furry.

There were also canine agility classes and dogs could enjoy a 'Puppiccino' on the museum terrace to relax after strutting their stuff in the showring.

Canine characters from the popular children's TV series Paw Patrol were also on site to entertain the children, along with fancy dress classes and dog-themed stands.
