Joanna Lumley, star of ITV’s Sapphire and Steel, brought a sparkle to Garston’s Woodside Community Centre on Saturday evening.

She was there to accept a cheque for £3,200 on behalf of the Variety Club of Great Britain Sunshine Coach appeal.

The cash was raised by members of Woodside Community Association through sponsored events during the past 12 months.

Smiling Joanna, the former television Avengers girl, was presented with the cheque by Woodside treasurer Mr Aubrey Topping (as seen in the first picture, reprinted here. The other two pictures were unpublished at the time and no captions are available).
