Mum Vanessa and daughters Jodie and Carrie were put forward for People's Pride for the support they give to young people and voluntary organisatons via the Blue Angels Majorettes.

The trio started and run the Hemel Hempstead troupe on top of their full-time jobs, giving young girls exercise, fun and the chance to be part of a team.

Vanessa co-runs fancy dress shop Arazzamatazz with her husband David, Jodie is a nanny and Carrie is full-time mum to her two young children.

Yet they find time to make sure their girls perform at virtually every major fundraising event in the town and even hold their own annual event - Picnic in the Park - in Gadebridge Park.

Nominating, Toni Anderson said: "The troupe is still going strong after 16 years with around 60 members, and Vanessa, Carrie and Jodie are still giving up so much of their time to the training, the costumes, and the carnivals and shows that the girls take part in.

"Vanessa, Carrie and Jodie have given me and hundreds of other girls opportunities to make friends, work hard and give something back to our community."
