ACTOR Hugh Bonneville was on hand to launch a a new flower wall at Breast Cancer Haven, Wessex.

The Downton Abby and Paddington star helped highlight Breast Cancer Awareness month at the have in Titchfield.

The wall has been funded by The Rare Brand Market and created with the help of florist Susie Babington.

Covering the front of their Titchfield centre, this large-scale display of locally sourced, in-season flowers, mirrors the Breast Cancer Haven brand’s colours.

The Rare Brand Market founder Emma Schwarz said: "I am thrilled to champion independent florist, Susie Babington and reflect the inspiring and positive work carried out by Breast Cancer Haven, Wessex.

"My mother is currently receiving help from Breast Cancer Haven after a second diagnosis of breast cancer so this is an association very close to my own heart."

Breast Cancer Haven, Wessex opened its welcoming centre in Titchfield, Hampshire, in 2015.

It is from here that counsellors, therapists and health professionals offer the support needed to help individuals facing their personal challenge of living with breast cancer.

Florist Susie added: “Having been the primary carer to my mother during her battle with cancer, I was delighted to lend a hand to this project to raise awareness of the disease, which sadly affects so many of us today, either directly or indirectly, and of the Breast Cancer Haven which supports not only the patient but the family too – so important during difficult times."

Breast cancer Awareness Month runs throughout the whole of October.
