CHARITY Queen Emma Povall, pictured, is desperately seeking a throne for her carriage in the Heswall Festival parade on Saturday, July 3.

Blonde Miss Wirral Globe Emma has devoted much of her reign to raising money for Claire House children's hospice, Clatterbridge.

Claire House will have a lorry dressed as a float and the throne for Emma is needed as the crowning glory.

Anyone who can help should ring Jill at Claire House Appeal office, 343-0883.

A party of sick children leaves Claire House today (Wednesday June 9) for a holiday at St Tropez.

Eight families will be taken in Jaguars, courtesy of Alex Taylor, to Liverpool Airport to jet off by easyJet. The holiday package has been put together with the help of Liverpool Airport, which has adopted Claire House.

LWT will film the take off for its Airline documentary on ITV to be screened later in the year. The last series attracted up to 12 million viewers.
