ALL-SINGING, all-dancing pensioner Brenda Mackfall is fulfilling a lifetime's ambition and becoming a Butlin's Red Coat for the day.

Brenda, 67, of Gate Helmsley, will don the famous jacket at a holiday centre in Skegness.

Her main duties will include greeting visitors, organising games and raising a smile.

Brenda, who is married with two children, said: "I wrote to Butlins last year to ask if I could it. I'm absolutely thrilled they've given me the chance.

"It's another challenge to tick off my list. I've fulfilled a lot of dreams in my life, from singing on stage to a bit of modelling.

"I'll have to think of something else to do now!"
