Meet Charlie, a majestic swan who has become a beloved regular at Shoreham's charming inn, The Rising Sun. Two years prior to this heartwarming scene, tragedy struck when a fox tragically took the lives of Charlie's parents in Shoreham Kent. However, fate had something special in store for him as compassionate villagers stepped forward to care for the orphaned cygnet.
