Teddington charity has "a night to remember" at the Sun's Who Cares Wins awards
Who's that trying to muscle their way into this photo taken at The Sun's celebrity-studded Who Cares Wins awards?
Ten year old Alice O'Rourke, the daughter of Teddington's Park Lane Stables (RDA) founder, Natalie O'Rourke and Riding for Disabled ambassador Philippa George, 24, were joined by football legend David Beckham at the star-studded ceremony last night (14 September).
Park Lane Stables was nominated as a finalist in the Best Health Charity category at the awards, for their amazing work supporting disabled people during the pandemic.
Founder Natalie O'Rourke raised £1 million in the charity's Save Our Stables campaign when they were faced with the loss of its long-standing HQ on Park Lane in Teddington.
The stables sadly had to move to a temporary home in Petersham despite raising the money.

After coming down to earth earlier today the Stables tweeted: "Wow, what a night, feels like a dream.
"So humbled and privileged to be in such amazing company and honoured to be nominated.
"Thanks to the Sun for giving these young ladies a night to remember for the rest of their lives."
Natalie, Alice, Philippa and Nina Bradburn, who nominated the charity for the award, mingled with a glittering array of stars including Gary Lineker, England footballer Tyrone Mings and TV presenter Piers Morgan last night.
VIP guests HRH The Duke of Cambridge and Prime Minister Boris Johnson also made an appearance.
The awards were presented by Davina McCall and you can find out how our local heroes did when the event is screened on Channel 4 this Sunday evening (September 19) at 7.30pm.
Natalie said: "To be honest it really doesn't matter if we win or lose because we're shortlisted to three and the other two charities are absolutely amazing so whoever wins it really doesn't matter.
"We're just so proud to be here so thank you for your support and we'll do our best for you!"
