AN EYE-CATCHING banner has been used to encourage everyone to remember their childhood in aid of charity.

This Friday is Ted's Big Day Out, raising funds for the Royal United Hospital's 'Forever Friends' Appeal. So Bath business Fastsigns, of Walcot Street, has produced a giant banner to promote the event.

Around 50,000 people have so far signed up for the fun occasion. Fastsigns owner Peter George said: "We are extremely proud to be involved with the appeal and hope everyone has a smashing Teddy Day. All of our staff are really keen to support the event.

"Although I'll probably look a bit of a fool, I will be taking my Ted to the pub for an evening pint - but at least I know he's old enough to drink!"

The campaign aims to raise £10 million for the hospital.
