Helston hosted a fashion show with real heart last week as fundraising volunteers strutted their stuff at St Mary's Church Hall.

Friends and staff of Helston's British Heart Foundation shop aged from eight to 80 took to the catwalk to show off the charity's couture creations.

Store manager Tina Altree said: "We were absolutely delighted with the event. It was our first ever British Heart Foundation fashion week."

She thanked friends and volunteers, as well as their younger daughters, for giving up their time for the evening, and said feedback had shown it to be a "complete success."

She added: "It was to promote our Bag It, Beat It campaign, a stock generation campaign, and to make people aware of the fabulous stock that we have donated to the business."

The evening raised over £400 for the charity.
