ALL creatures great and small will be turning up for a village church's popular service.

The Pet Blessing takes place at St Michael's Church in Leafield, near Witney, tomorrow.

Among those going to this year's event is Jenny Digby with her pet guinea pig Squeak.

Jennby, nine, said: "I go to church on Sundays anyway, but when I take Squeak she will become part of the family there."

During the service each pet will be brought up for an individual blessing by the Rev Jane Knowles.

She said: "Children often learn to express love through animals and receive it also through them."
