And helping promote the fundraising drive was Harry who is pictured with RSPCA animal care assistant Tracy Girt and store general manager Ian McCandlish. This was Leeds in September 1997, a month which also featured a Leeds United legend in the recording studio, a home grown Coronation Street star at St James's Hospital to open a new breast cancer unit and a funding boost for the City Varieties.
