PRESENTER and actress Joanna Lumley has been spotted in Derry as she films a new show.

The TV star has been seen in various locations around the city with a production crew.

The 74-year-old, who starred in the sitcom Absolutely Fabulous, posed for a photo with Children in Crossfire founder Richard Moore as she filmed in the Creggan area.

Mr Moore, from Derry, was blinded at the age of 10 in 1972 after being hit by a rubber bullet.

Sharing a photo with Ms Lumley on Twitter, he said: "Honoured to be showing my good friend Joanna around God's country Malin Gardens Creggan where I grew up."

Ms Lumley has also been spotted in the city with Derry Girls star Saoirse-Monica Jackson.
