A Suffolk farm's taken inspiration from a couple of unusual places to name its new Suffolk Punch Foal.

Born on Saturday 4th May, Easton Farm Park near Woodbridge have named him Jedi John - to mark his birthday on Star Wars Day.

They then picked John in honour of former Ipswich Town chairman John Kerr - who also founded the farm - as a nod to Ipswich Town's promotion to the Premier League, which also came on Saturday.
