The star visited with his grandchildren and met some of the puppies he has sponsored.

Matthew Bottomley, head of breeding operations at Guide Dogs, said: “It was great to welcome David and his family to our centre and we hope they enjoyed meeting our staff, volunteers and pups and learning more about our work.” David, an RSC actor and BAFTA winner who is probably best known for playing Argus Filch in the Harry Potter films, said: “It was fantastic to visit the centre and find out more about the charity and the journey of a guide dog, from the breeding programme to being partnered to support someone with sight loss. David is a big supporter of the charity and has sponsored puppies Comet, Cookie, Berry and Felix for his seven-year-old granddaughter Illy. Two of the animals have already gone on to become qualified guide dogs.
