A Hollywood A-lister has lent his support to a Southampton charity while mixing with families at a popular food festival.
Josh Hartnett, star of Pearl Harbor, Black Hawk Down, Black Mirror and Oppenheimer, is pictured with the team from Abby's Heroes, which supports children, teenagers, young adults and their families being cared for at University Hospital Southampton.
They got together at Sunday's Alresford Watercress Festival, the annual event which attracts thousands to enjoy street markets, cookery demonstrations and the popular Watercress Eating Championship.
Abby's Heroes spokesperson Alice Raby described Josh, who is believed to have a home nearby and was visiting the event with this family, as 'so lovely'.
Volunteers from the charity, set up by her parents in memory of Abby Randall, distribute watercress on the day in return for donations and this year raised £6,942.
Abby was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer in 2013 when she was eight years old and died from the illness in 2016.
