TINA TURNER was on hand to help Redcar and Cleveland mayor Arthur Dobson with a final fundraising boost to his civic year.
Grandmother Maureen Wake and her friends and family are the Copycats, who transform themselves into a variety of stars - including Tina Turner and Dolly Parton -- and mime to tracks to raise money for charity.
Maureen's dedication to charity work earned her a Community Achievement Award from Coun Dobson earlier last year and now the Copycats will top the bill at the Mayor's charity event in the Whale Hill Social Club, Eston, on Easter Saturday.
The event, which starts at 8pm, is in aid of the mayor's two adopted charities - the Specialist Oncology Fund Teesside and the Ann Charlton Lodge for Multiple Sclerosis in Redcar.
