My late musician husband Derek Watkins and I have lived in Claygate for many years, and when he was diagnosed with Sarcoma cancer back in 2011, we found Sarcoma UK, a charity supporting research into this very rare cancer.

My husband died in 2013, but musicians along with other friends have continued to raise money in Derek's memory, and to date have raised in excess of £50,000, by sponsored bike rides, marathons, concerts and band nights.

Derek was a world renowned musician working on such projects as James Bond movies, countless TV shows and also concerts with the likes of Tom Jones, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Robbie Williams and many many more.

The evening at Downing Street was held by The Prime Minister Theresa May, together with Sarcoma UK to Improve the Landscape of Sarcoma, and raise awareness of this rare cancer.

Sarcoma UK is the charity of choice for No.10 following the death at the age 42 of David Cameron's Principal Private Secretary Chris Martin.
