Cricket star Sean Ervine, front centre, at the school fayre.
A CRICKET star proved a hit as he opened a school fayre.
Hampshire cricketer Sean Ervine was the guest of honour and remained at the event, at Kings Copse Primary School, in Hedge End, the whole day.
He signed autographs on balls and bats, chatted to visitors and spent time with children playing mini cricket.
The fayre, on Saturday, attracted hundreds of people and included a bouncy castle, traditional children’s games, belly dancing and gymnastics performances.
Gemma Braybrook, of Smallpiece Catering, whose daughter attends the school, suggested they invite Sean, who is a friend of hers.
She said the atmosphere was amazing and the event raised £3,411, the most the annual event has ever raised.
