PANTO dame Berwick Kaler brought a performance of Jack And The Beanstalk to a halt last night to give his support to the Save York City campaign.
Berwick made a passionate short speech at the Theatre Royal, in York, in which he said: "We cannot let this club die. It is part of our city's heritage."
A video camera was brought on stage and a special sing-along message of support from Berwick and the audience was filmed for viewing at a meeting to launch the York City Supporters' Trust at the Barbican on Friday.
Extra police officers will be at tonight's match between York City and arch rivals Hull, which is set to another crowd-puller for the beleaguered club.
