Description

British entrepreneur and carpet factory owner Cyril Lord invited the stars to come to Northern Ireland to raise money for the Hospital for Sick Children, and they came! After a visit to the hospital, stars such as Dickie Henderson, Jack Hawkins and Alan Wicker gathered at the Pig & Chicken in Templepatrick for dinner and a raffle for a new car – which the barman won!
