Sophie wears Bowelbabe T-shirt on tour

THE Countess of Wessex has shown her support for Dame Deborah James whilst on royal tour in Gibraltar.

Sophie Wessex, 57, wore one of the cancer campaigner’s ‘Rebellious Hope’ slogan T-shirts as she enjoyed some paddle boarding on a trip to a beach.

Dame Deborah, who is receiving end-of-life care for bowel cancer at her parents’ home in Surrey, retweeted images of the Countess in her T-shirt. Sales of the shirts go towards Dame Deborah’s Bowelbabe fund, an initiative that has already raised more than £6.5million.
