Sarah, Duchess of York has been unveiled as a patron of children’s hospice charity Julia's House, following in the footsteps of Harry Redknapp, Rupert Everett, Martin Clunes, and James McVey.

Following a visit to the charity’s Wiltshire base in Devizes last month, Sarah commented 'I am delighted and privileged to accept the offer of a patronage of Julia’s House. I was so taken by the charity when I visited. It is a place of unity providing harmony and happiness... It is such a good place where children are able to be themselves'.
