GESTURE: Land-owners pay tribute to the NHS
Gamekeepers have urged the public to stay away from the moors over the Easter Weekend.

Gamekeepers and moorland managers are stepping up their efforts and have readied specialist equipment to fight wildfires.
Amanda Anderson, director of the Moorland Association said: “It is essential that members of the public follow government instructions and stay at home and away from the moors over the Easter Weekend.”
