Buffy star to help Blue Cross celebrate Centenary

Television star Anthony Head will be supporting pet charity, The Blue Cross by welcoming people to a carol concert to celebrate the centenary of the charity’s flagship animal hospital in Victoria, London.

The festivities, at St Peter’s Church in Eaton Square on Thursday 14 December, will kick off at 6.15pm with complimentary mince pies and wine. The concert will start at 7pm.  Anthony, star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Little Britain will open proceedings, with fellow actors Jenny Seagrove, Ian Hogg, and broadcaster Angela Rippon OBE reading a selection of festive poems, amusing passages and short Christmas stories.

The congregation will be entertained by the prestigious English Chamber Choir who will be accompanied by trumpeters from the Household Cavalry and the impressive St Peter’s Church organ.

Proceeds from the concert will go towards helping the animals in the pet charity’s care. The Blue Cross animal hospital in Victoria first opened its doors to the sick and injured 100 years ago.  It is the oldest continually running charity animal hospital in the country and provides a valuable service for the pets of owners who cannot afford private vets' fees.
