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.
