On October 26th, this year I'm 60 years old. Now, for many of you, I know that's hard to believe but it's true.

So, to celebrate that milestone, I'm holding a Golf Classic in Portugal, followed by dinner. That's on 24th October.

Then, on Friday, October 30th, I'm holding a dinner at The Royal Marines Museum at Southsea.

The question for many of you will be, what to buy a guy who has everything? After all I have a loving family, wonderful friends and enjoy a fabulous life.

The most wonderful thing you can do for me is to make a donation to the charity in which I have a close involvement, and which is a far more deserving cause than I'll ever be. The is the Rainbow Centre.

You can visit Rainbow Centre and find out all about its wonderful work at www.rainbowcentre.org.
