A known Brighton entertainer is appearing on the backs of buses and on digital display screens nationwide as part of a charity campaign to raise awareness of brain tumours.

Drag queen Eddie Adams, a brain tumour patient from Bedford who came third in a pilot audition for what was to become the popular reality TV show Ru Paul’s Drag Race back in 2015, is one of the four faces of this year’s Wear A Hat Day campaign.

It is hoped his poster, which will feature on 400 buses and more than 100 digital screens throughout the UK until 4 March, will encourage registrations to the Brain Tumour Research charity’s flagship fundraiser, held at the end of Brain Tumour Awareness Month.
