A TALENTED bunch of comedians will receive a bouquet from a Rother Valley firm today for taking part in a fundraising gala.

Comedians and presenters who are Standing Up To Cancer on Channel 4 will find a bouquet from the Real Flower Company in their dressing room.

Sharon Osbourne, Una Young and Claire Balding are among those who will come out smelling of roses during the live event at the O2 arena in London.

The event will feature a dazzling array of stars ranging from TV favourites such as Alan Carr, Davina McCall and David Beckham to Hollywood A-listers Bradley Cooper and Samuel L Jackson.

The public will be able to buy exact replicas of the bouquets given to the celebrities throughout October with 20 per cent of proceeds going direct to Cancer Research UK.
