Leicester has been recognised as the home of veganism with a new heritage panel, installed to commemorate the man who coined the word.

Donald Watson and his wife Dorothy created the name while living in Leicester in the 1940s.

A new panel has been installed in Evesham Road, where Mr Watson lived.

Mr Watson became vegetarian at 14 after witnessing the slaughter of a pig on his uncle's farm.

Reporter Sara Palmer has been to meet members of the Leicester Vegetarian and Vegan Group to find out more.
