Ron Green, from Hertfordshire, visited the camp for a second time yesterday (February 21) with the news.

A video of him meeting several individuals at the camp was posted on Camp Beagle’s Facebook page today (February 22).

In the video, Ron said: “To start with, I had no idea what was here, and when I found out I was so disgusted.”

Ron was given a warm welcome to the camp, and those present at the time were very happy with him becoming the new patron.

A spokesperson from Camp Beagle said: “Ron visited us here at Camp Beagle to give us the fantastic news.

“He stood beside us in unity. He’s a wonderful, kind, caring and compassionate man.

“What an inspirational patron and warrior for the beagles.

“He told us about his incredible history as a flight Sargeant throughout WWII and how he turned vegan last September (2021).”

They added: “Ron will stand with us until the end when we shut down MBR.”
