Two police horses from the West Yorkshire force have been blessed in a Buddhist ceremony in Leeds.
The Venerable Mary Reavey blessed a number of pets and other animals as part of the Jamyang Buddist Centre's celebrations of World Animal Day.
The nun touched each animal gently with a holy object while walking around them with a stupa - an object which represents the Buddha's mind.
