Police officers, firefighters and soldiers are to take to the catwalk next month to raise money for the Help for Heroes charity.

Eight female cops, two firemen and a territorial army soldier have signed up alongside 50 other amateur models for Perth's fourth annual Rock the Catwalk fashion extravaganza.

Previous shows, held each year at Perth's Concert Hall, have attracted thousands and raised a total of more than £25,000 for charity.

Now the show, in aid of Help for Heroes, is returning on Saturday March 13 - with the help of local department store McEwen's.

Show organiser Jade Beatson, 20, pictured above, said: "It is more of a concert than a catwalk show - with live music and the modelling choregraphed into dance routines and some acting parts as well.

"It is going to be the biggest and best Rock the Catwalk yet since we first started it in 2007.

"And it is for a great cause - the money will be going to people who really need and deserve it, so I hope people get out in numbers to support us."

McEwen's spokeswoman Georgina Bullough said: "In World War One the ratio of casualties to deaths in war was approximately three to one.

"Now, due to body armour, helicopters and high-tech field hospitals, that ratio is around 40 to one.

"It is estimated that there are 3,000 to 8,000 serious casualties - they must not be forgotten.

"Help for Heroes helps them build new lives despite their terrible injuries."

Tickets for the show start at £14 for adults, and are available from www.horsecross.co.uk
