Wallace and Gromit star Peter Sallis at Prescot Methodist Centre

By Barrie Mills on Jun 25, 09 12:15 PM

It's not every day that the star of Oscar-winning films - and the longest-running sitcom in history - turns up at the local Methodist church hall.
But that's what happened when Peter Sallis - alias Wallace, of Wallace and Gromit fame, and Clegg, of Last of the Summer Wine - turned up to present his show 'An Evening With ...' at the Prescot Festival.

Our photographer Andrew Teebay took these pictures of people queueing to see the show, and then Peter giving a memorable performance.
He's in his 80s, and walks with a stick now, but the years rolled back when he began to tell his stories of a fascinating career on stage and screen.
I like these pictures - Peter, or at least his voice, is famous all over the world, but here he is entertaining his fans at a local arts festival. Cracking.
