Darth Vader takes over in Craigavon

DARTH Vader, along with an army of Storm Troopers, took time out from overthrowing the galaxy and brought their light sabers to Rushmere to greet fans and unsuspecting shoppers to raise an impressive £1,000 for the Buddy Bear Trust.

Based in Dungannon, the Buddy Bear Trust operates a special school serving the needs of children with cerebral palsy.

The school provides education known as Conductive Therapy, based on the pioneering work of the world famous PETO Institute in Hungary.
