Residents of Potters Bar got to meet two of their favourite EastEnders stars when Ricky Groves and Hannah Waterman came to the town to open a craft fair at Elm Court, Mutton Lane, last weekend.

The stars, who play the characters Garry and Laura in the popular soap, were flocked by fans at the event, which was set up to raise money for the National Childbirth Trust.

Michele Combes, who was one of the organisers, said: "We raised about £1,100 for the NCT and Ricky and Hannah were brilliant. They signed autographs and chatted to all the people. Everybody had a fun day."
