Daily Mirror Animal Hero Awards Judging

This is our favourite event of the year and it was wonderful to win the prestigious panel again at London's decadent Grosvenor Hotel for a morning of deciding the nations best animals and people. Led by the amazing Peter Egan this was certainly a hard fought debate but some incredible winners were chosen. Watch this space for all the photos from the event in September.
