Dr Brian May, 66, of Windlesham, has received The Observer’s Campaigner of the Year award. Rock star and animal rights campaigner Brian May has been honoured at the annual Animal Hero Awards.
The Queen guitarist, who lives in Windlesham, was awarded with the celebrity supporter of the year award during the ceremony at Grosvenor House in London on Wednesday evening (November 26).
Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden hosted the awards – organised by the Daily Mirror and RSPCA – which were attended by charity representatives, nominees and a host of celebrities.
A judging panel including wildlife campaigner Bill Oddie, TV presenter Jenni Falconer and TV vet Joe Inglis chose the winners off 11 categories, including both pets and people.
Dr May founded the Save Me charity in 2010 and has battled to stop controversial government badger culls across the country.
