A ride in Chris Eubank's truck will be one of the auction lots on offer at a ball to raise money for sick children.

The former world boxing champion, who lives in Hove, is supporting the Rockinghorse Appeal, which raises cash for the Royal Alexandra children's hospital in Brighton.

The appeal has organised an Inter-Galactic Ball at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in King's Road, Brighton, on November 4.

The event will feature an auction, live music and a full-sized dodgem circuit. It will be compered by Paul Darrow, who played Avon in cult Eighties BBC sci-fi show Blake's Seven.
