Donations to a fund in memory of Paul O’Grady for his beloved Battersea Dogs and Cats Home have more than doubled since the Mirror highlighted the cause.
Tonight the total stood at over £200,000 and was still rising as fans gave generously in honour of Paul, who died last week aged 67.
The star became an ambassador for the home in 2012 after the success of his ITV multi award-winning show For the Love of Dogs, 11 series of which were filmed there.
