A close shave for great-gran in charity stunt
A GREAT-grandmother is to have all her hair shaved off for charity by celebrity hairdresser Charlie Miller.
It is part of fundraising fashion event to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
The plucky 75-year-old decided on the drastic style to show of support for her son Ted, 52, who is currently suffering from an aggressive form of cancer.
Cancer Research has enlisted the help of Mr Miller as part of an event, which will take place next Friday.
Mr Miller said: "I'm more used to complex and carefully-designed hairstyles, but I'm going to give Sue a very close shave.
"I hope it raises lots of money for research into cancer."
Staff, volunteers and customers from Cancer Research UK shops across the city hope to raise thousands of pounds to help victims of the disease.
In addition to the pensioner's hairdressing stunt, fundraisers will take part in a fashion show.
