FAMILIES and staff at Children's Hospice South West's Little Bridge House in Fremington near Barnstaple were given a real treat with the visit of Michael Jackson's brother Tito on Friday.
Tito Jackson, who was a member of The Jackson 5, is currently in the UK campaigning against bullying and has been visiting a number of schools and hospices.
He was also here in January 2007 as he is a close friend to Barnstaple martial arts expert Matt Fiddes.
Tito Jackson and Matt Fiddes, who owns a chain of Martial Arts Schools, were given a tour of Little Bridge House including the Narnia Garden and met many of the children and their families.
Fundraising Projects Coordinator for Children's Hospice South West, Ian Roome, said: "We at Children's Hospice South West give our thanks to Tito Jackson and his girlfriend Claudia Lynx for their kind support.
"Tito was genuinely interested in the work of CHSW and said that he was really touched when introduced to the children, their families and carers. I would also like to thank Matt Fiddes for his support and for arranging this visit"
