Folks have an opportunity to own a unique collector's item and benefit charity at the same time.
The Windsor Fire Station has original photographs and messages of support from a variety of notables, including Elton (seen below).
Please send your bid to: The Fire Brigades Union, The Fire Station, St Marks Road Windsor, Berkshire. SL4 3BE (telephone 01628 771013). The highest bidder wins and the monies raised will be divided equally between the Orchid Cancer Charity and the Alexander Devine Children's Cancer Trust.
"Please keep Windsor Fire Station open! They do a fantastic job for the community. Much love and support - Elton John"
Readers of this Web site will recall that Royal Berkshire Fire Authority are planning to close the Windsor station between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m., which has been strongly opposed by residents of the town and Royal Borough councillors who question claims that cover from Slough is sufficient.
The closures at night could begin later this year.
