The son of Roxy Music star Bryan Ferry has appeared in court to answer charges of robbery and assault.

Pro-hunting campaigner Otis Ferry, 25, is alleged to have robbed a woman of a video camera and assaulted another woman while riding with the Chipping Norton-based Heythrop Hunt last November.

Ferry, of Eaton Mascott, near Shrewsbury, in Shropshire, spoke only to confirm his name and did not enter pleas at Gloucester Crown Court today. He was granted bail.

A plea hearing has been fixed for July 25 and a trial date provisionally set for September 15.
