Frank Carson 1926 - 2012 RIP

27.02.2012 11.39

It is with deepest regret that we report the very sad loss of our much loved supporter, Frank Carson, on 22nd February 2012.

Hon. Chairman, Giles Cooper, commented, "Frank worked year after year in helping us at the Entertainment Artistes' Benevolent Fund with our annual fundraiser, the Royal Variety Performance. His commitment and dedication to the show combined with his love and support for our charity was undisputed. He will be sorely missed by us all at the EABF."

Here are some images of happier times:
