The Cairngorm Reindeer Herd is Britain’s only free-ranging herd of reindeer found in the Cairngorm mountains in Scotland. These tame and friendly animals are a joy to all who come and see them. Peter paid a visit in 1994 when it was then known as Aviemore Reindeer Farm.

Jill Allen-King OBE has won the prestigious Pride of Britain Life Achievement award, after years of campaigning on behalf of other blind and partially-sighted people, with remarkable results. The 82-year-old, from Westcliff, has spent the last 50 years campaigning and was behind the major roll-out of “tactile paving” at pedestrian crossings and campaigning for better access to public spaces for assistance dogs and other support animals. Margaret spoke to her about the award.
