Professor Paul Lunn, Dean of the School of Veterinary Science at the University of Liverpool said: “We were delighted to welcome so many visitors of all ages to a very special open day in the run up to the School of Veterinary Science’s 120th anniversary later this year. It was a privilege to give our community a glimpse behind the scenes at Leahurst and the chance to meet some of our animals, and discover the exciting work we do every day.”
