News of a Foot and Mouth case in southern England has raised horrific memories of the 2001 disaster which saw thousands of cattle and sheep destroyed.

The Government has launched emergency measures after cattle at a farm near Guildford, Surrey, tested positive. All 60 cattle on the farm will be culled.

A nationwide ban on the movement of livestock, including cattle and pigs, has been imposed.

Framers are bracing themselves for a new foot and mouth epidemic, the first time since the disastrous outbreak of 2001.

The Foot and Mouth outbreak which swept the UK in 2001 devastated the farming community in Lancashire and Cumbria and led to the slaughter and burning of hundreds of thousands of animals.
