Yvonne added: "I invited Kim along to support us and was delighted she came.

“Kim took time to chat to stall holders and even said hello to my mum, who was celebrating her 83rd birthday.

“My mum is the reason why I raise funds for Cancer Research UK, because she has survived kidney cancer and had one kidney removed."
