    Lads have a little respect , active campaigner for countryside alliance , she was a great supporter of shooting and hunting sports , and a great public figure for our sport in Britain ! It's a pity there isn't more women that shared her views .

    And hare coursing with dogs was one of her passions , far from driven shooting !

    I think the 2nd and 3rd posts should be removed. I bet they couldn't tell 1 thing about her. No respect at all

    She spoke up for shooting and hunting in the press and television when it was extremely un-pc to do so, resulting in a lot of personal abuse and even death threats.

    A big loss. She was a great character on the programmes I seen her on. Have some of her books too. I've cocked some of her recipes for game and there delicious.I'd say you would have learned a lot from her if you new her. She was a very intelligent woman. I still watch the Two Fat Ladies when their on. RIP
