With the slogan “Don’t Be Lame Vote Dame” Dame Dixon garnered headlines around the world with pictures in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Guardian and the Sunday Mirror! In full frock and make up she was snapped by ITV arriving for the count in the early hours of Friday Morning and would soon be enjoying a 125 vote last place triumph!

The whole place was buzzing and everyone – with a couple of grumpy Greens and Torys the exception – joined in the fun and the loony spirit of things! The Labour victor Peter Kyle welcomed the Dame very warmly and was extremely kind in ensuring her place at his side during the count so she could get on the tele! Many thanks have to go to all the people that voted, Steve Evans the Dames campaign manager – and go to Twitter man – plus Jan Belcher Heath for keeping an eye on the old Facebook. And of course Daisy Duke – the official campaign dog. It’s been a blast!
