David Holmes Cricket Cup, London (2024)

Rupert has again participated in the David Holmes Cricket Cup, helping to raise awareness and donations for the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) and Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) charities. You can read about earlier appearances in this post.

The wonderful news is that this year’s match was streamed live, and is available to watch on YouTube!

Also, I was delighted to see Rupert and Bradley James (Arthur in Merlin) promoting the live stream on Instagram. Check out Rupert’s video here. (His longer hair is looking mighty fiiine, I have to say! Bradley seems to agree.)
