THE Prime Minister's father-in-law is to be guest of honour at a pensioners' rally next week.
Actor Tony Booth, father of Cherie Blair, will be speaking at the rally along with veteran presenter Alan Wright from BBC Radio Cleveland, national chairman of British Steel pensioners John Batstone and Coun David Walsh, leader of Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council.
The event will be addressed by Coun Vilma Collins, deputy mayor of Redcar and Cleveland, and will include a question and answer session which will be open to all.
The event, which takes place on Thursday, March 1 between 2pm and 4pm at the Coatham Bowl in Redcar, has been organised by the East Cleveland Pensioners' Convention Forum.
The group was set up last year as a regional arm of the national pensioners' forum and covers the Redcar, Guisborough, Saltburn, Marske and east Cleveland areas.
Organisers say all pensioners are welcome to attend the meeting
