Actress Kate Beckinsale brought a touch of Hollywood glamour to Chilwell today - turning up to a plaque unveiling with a couple of her A-List pals.
The actress, 39, was at College House Junior School to watch as a plaque commemorating her father, actor Richard Beckinsale, was unveiled.
But she unexpectedly turned up with ex-partner and father of her daughter, actor Michael Sheen and celebrity mate David Walliams, of Britain's Got Talent fame.
Mr Beckinsale's widow Judy Loe was also at the event.
Kate, the star of films including Pearl Harbor and Total Recall, said: "It is a lovely idea. My dad is a very big deal in our house but it's nice to see he's still dear to all of you."
Mr Beckinsale was born in Nottingham and attended the school in the 1950s.
He went on to enjoy a successful acting career, appearing in hit 1970s TV comedies Porridge and Rising Damp.
He died aged just 31, after suffering a heart attack when Kate was just five years old.We will have photos of the stars later: Check back soon
