THE STAR of a BBC drama was the special guest at a preview of the Duncombe Park Christmas Fair.

George Blagden, who plays King Louis XIV in Versailles, was at the event on Thursday ahead of its two night run on Friday and today.

The fair has supported children’s charity the NSPCC for the past 20 years and has raised more than £500,000 over the last two decades it has been held.
