George, 88, a giant tortoise who lived through the Second World War, receives a garland at Cotswold Wildlife Park from Susan Osborne, the co-founder of The War Horse Memorial, and Mandy Hicks, a park gardener who knits hand-sized purple poppies to raise money for the organisation on February 22, 2024. The part animals have played in countless wars and conflicts will be recognised on the inaugural International War Animal Day on Saturday. (Photo by Paul Nicholls/The Times)
