Two famous faces will be lending their support to Wokingham’s Poppy Appeal this year.
Actors Bob Barrett and Carol Harrison will be swapping the small screen for the collecting tin as they prepare for their greatest roles yet: selling poppies.
The duo will be joining local collectors on Saturday, October 31 to collect donations in Market Place, Wokingham. As our picture shows, local collectors have already been out in force to raise money for the Poppy Appeal.
Mr Barrett is best known for his role as Dr Sacha Levy in BBC medical drama Holby City but has also appeared in the Oscar-winning film Shakespeare in Love, while Ms Harrison starred as Louise Raymond in EastEnders and created the forthcoming West End musical All Or Nothing, set in the times of Mods and Rockers.
They will be collecting between 10am and noon and is just part of the way in which the borough will be marking the season of Remembrance, which concludes with Remembrance Sunday on November 8.
