'He was a sweary David Attenborough'
Surrey has lost one of its gems, after Wildlife campaigner Simon Cowell passed away.
He was diagnosed with aggressive lung cancer in June 2022. Adrian Harms spent a day at the Wildlife Aid Foundation based in Leatherhead talking to Simon about the rescue that started in the back garden.
We also hear from Simon's daughter Lou who describes her Dad as being like 'a sweary David Attenborough'.
