Liverpool cabbies treat children to day out at theme park



Bernie Buxton and the taxi drivers embark on a trip to Camelot


MORE than 100 children were taken on a journey to remember by kind-hearted taxi drivers.

The boys and girls were special guests of the Liverpool Taxi Drivers’ Outing Fund, which has been taking children in care out every year since it was founded in 1985.

A convoy of 30 cabs and a minibus full of excited youngsters made their way up to the Camelot theme park in Lancashire yesterday.

Lord Mayor Cllr Sharon Sullivan and celebrity hairdresser Herbert Howe were on hand to wave the group off while Liverpool WAG Danielle Lloyd and her two young sons greeted taxi drivers and children when they arrived at the park.

Founder Bernie Buxton, who brought along his Olympic torch for the occasion, said: “Everyone had a fantastic time.

“The kids really appreciated it.”
