LADY Elsie Robson, Sir Bobby Robson's widow, is to start off a fund-raising walk in Ovington.

This will be the 10th year the event has been held in aid of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, which raises money to fund the early detection and treatment of cancer.

The walk will set off from Ovington Social Club at 10am on Saturday, July 7 at a cost of £10 per adult walker.

It will be followed by evening entertainment at Ovington Social Club, with live music from Newcastle-based band Skyrush.
