Ferry's son suspended by Eton

The son of rock star Bryan Ferry has been suspended from Eton after sending a hate mail to an anti-hunting campaigner.

Keen huntsman Isaac Ferry, 16, fired off an offensive message to Simon Wild, who runs a wildlife rescue service and badger protection group.

It read: "You are a f***ing looser [sic]. Why don't you stop waisting [sic] your time and get a real job/hobby,you c***?"

Mr Wild, of West Sussex Wildlife Protection Group, lodged complaints with the police and Eton, w here fees are £18,000 a year. He said: "The email was very upsetting both to me and my family."

A spokesman for Isaac's father, Roxy Music frontman Bryan, said: "I can confirm that Isaac has been suspended from Eton." Teachers at Eton were said to be "deeply shocked" by the incident.

Isaac rides with the Chiddingfold, Leconfield and Cowdray Hunt near his home in Little Bognor, West Sussex. He came to public attention last summer when he made his modelling debut at French designer Hedi Slimane's Summer 2002 mensw ear show for Christian Dior in Paris.
