"Together we can do great things" - Chester icons gather for charity photo shoot
A number of local culture, business and charity representatives recently gathered on Eastgate Street for a charity photo shoot.
This included Chester FC, The Chester Grosvenor Hotel, Chester Pride, Deva Roman Experience, Geoff Hughes butcher, parade master Russell Kirk, a life-size cardboard cut-out of Chester born actor and comedian Russ Abbot and many other local businesses and community groups.
In support of a local charity, the event sought to create Chester's own version of the "Sgt Pepper" album cover photo - also producing a unique snapshot of the city.
The shoot was organised by Richard Trotter of the Chester Blog, who is gearing up to host his next quiz in aid of Blacon-based charity, 'Platform for Life'.
Taking place from 5pm at Chester Market on Sunday 1 June, the charity event includes a raffle and a magic display by local Magician, Paul Shanley.
Attendees can purchase the photo shoot merchandise at the market.
"Thank you to everyone who came along at such short notice," Richard Trotter said.
"It was an amazing effort from everyone rallying people to get involved for this great cause.
"We wanted to bring people together and to also show how hard people are working to make Chester great.
"It was great to see so many legends together and thanks as well to artist Tim Foxon for lending us his iconic little red bike.
"I would like to thank Stuart Robinson, photographer, film-maker and director of Heritage Chester for coming along and taking the photo for us."
Rowan Arnold, who recently reopened Hole in Wand mini golf course, added: "It was great to see so many local influential people together celebrating our wonderful city.
"It really shows that together we can do great things."
