Peter Davison lights up Teddington
Peter Davison, the DSA's longest serving patron, ex-Doctor Who star, Richmond local, and all round nice guy, switched on Teddington's Christmas lights on Thursday 27th November.
Peter was accompanied by Olympic gold medallist Andy Hodge and the Mayor of Richmond.
Peter quipped that he was the Mayor's 'celebrity friend' before commencing the countdown with the assistance of his young son.
The Down's Syndrome Association street collectors were out in force along Teddington's high street, which was thronged by carolling children, jazz bands and mulled wine sellers.
Peter and Lorna of Hitachi Consulting joined the DSA as street collectors to persuade the public to part with their cash for a good cause.
