Local farmers are staging what they're calling a 'National Day of Unity' - urging the government to reconsider changes to inheritance tax.

Unions have planned events today at High Town in Hereford, Upper Brewery Yard in Abergavenny and Castle Square in Ludlow.

They're protesting against a planned 20-percent tax on farms worth more than 1-million pounds - announced in the autumn Budget.

Downing Street says it stands by the plans, insisting the majority will not be affected.
