Memorabilia on target at NEC

Nov 23 2009 by Sophie Cross, Birmingham Mail

THOUSANDS of fans flocked to the Memorabilia show to meet their favourite celebrities from the film, television and sporting worlds.

More than 10,000 browsed scores of exhibitions over Saturday and Sunday before waiting patiently to meet their idols and net an autograph. Harry Potter stars Tom Felton and Warwick Davis were among famous faces at the event, as they took time out from filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – the hotly anticipated two-part finale to the wizard boy series.

Cast members from sci-fi classics Star Trek, Doctor Who, The X Files and Supernatural also put in an appearance at the event alongside stars from cult prison drama Prisoner Cell Block H, in honour of the show’s 30th anniversary.
