PANTO star Debra Stephenson judged a wet and windy Easter bonnet parade in Bournemouth.

The TV personality, who appeared in Jack and the Beanstalk in Bournemouth last Christmas, was guest judge at the event at Key West restaurant next to Bournemouth Pier along with designer Celia Bygraves.

Anthony Bygraves hosted the event, which was organised by the Wessex branch of the Variety Club and the Pier Theatre.

Frances Cornelius from the Variety Club said: “It was our best ever. The results of people’s hard work was astonishing. We had 14 really, really good contestants.”

The winner was five-year-old Natalie Stocker. Second prize went to Luke Collins, 11, and third went to six-year-old Judy Hiscoke.
