A fitting tribute, Pet?

Auf Wiedersehen Pet stars Jimmy Nail, Kevin Whately and Tim Healy have reunited to make a charity record in aid of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, PA reports.

The actors got in the recording studio to perform a new version of the Geordie anthem The Blaydon Races, which is often sung by fans of Bobby’s former team Newcastle United.

Tim Healy, who rose to fame playing Dennis in the series, said: "It was lovely to see Kevin and Jimmy again, as always, and we had a great time recording the song for a brilliant man – we all loved Sir Bobby and it was really lovely to have the chance to do something in tribute to him."
