Legendary musician and environmental campaigner Sir Sir Paul McCartney has lent his support to animal charity Wetnose Animal Aid's annual Wetnose Day, posing for a picture wearing a campaign nose to help raise awareness and funds for animals in desperate need across the UK.

Fellow animal activists Dame Joanna Lumley, Sir Brian May, Amanda Holden and Paul O'Grady will be promoting the event, which runs from September 29 to October 1, in an attempt to raise over £100k for animal rescue centres nationwide. Lumley commented 'We're a nation of animal lovers, yet our animal sanctuaries are always full to bursting with ill-treated animals. For all of the animals who find their way to a sanctuary this is a new start for them. So please do all you can to support Wetnose in the wonderful work they are doing. Your support does count very much'.
