Stars on show for postie

An Arsenal ex-professional and celebrity squad take on a Royal Mail XI at Kingsbury Town FC's ground in Townsend Lane, Kingsbury, this Sunday in a benefit match in aid of the family of postman Ray Thomas who died while on his round in April.

Although the stars on show can't be guaranteed, John Alford from London's Burning, West End star Gary Wilmot and former Arsenal players could well be turning out.

A raffle will also be held in which a football signed by the Arsenal double-winning squad of last season will be up for grabs. Admittance costs just £1 for adults and is free for children. The match kicks off at 2pm.
