Robin Page dead: One Man And His Dog presenter dies aged 80 as tributes paid to ‘man of great principle and integrity’
ROBIN PAGE, the beloved presenter of One Man And His Dog, has died aged 80.
Loved ones paid tributes to the TV star as a “man of great principle and integrity.”
Robin, who was a close friend of King Charles, passed away at his Cambridgeshire home last Saturday after a long cancer battle.
He was best known as a conservationist, writer, political campaigner and presenter with a great love of the countryside.
One of his great passions was the Countryside Restoration Trust, a charity he co-founded to preserve the natural world in Britain, of which the King was a keen supporter.
He founded the organisation alongside Gordon Beningfield, the godfather of Prince William, in 1993.
Robin authored a number of books, including The Wildlife of the Royal Estates with a foreword by the late Prince Phillip.
He was also a long-running columnist for several national newspapers.
His friend Marcus Stead told MailOnline: “He was a great British eccentric, a lovely man to speak to and a man of great principle and integrity. That’s how I shall remember him.”
