Holby City actor Jules Knight said: "I’m really looking forward to being part of the annual reunion this year – who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by so many handsome, heroic, and happy dogs that are now much loved by their new owners, all thanks to Battersea."

Thousands of dogs and their owners will travel to Battersea Park on Sunday, September 7, to catch up with old friends, and make some new ones.

Dogs are welcomed to enjoy paddling pools and obstacle courses amongst other activities.

Owners can enjoy food stalls, a children’s activity area and a tea party.
