A hotel in Kensington is teaming up with the widow of Bobby Moore to celebrate it’s 50th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of England’s World Cup victory .

Stephanie Moore MBE visited Royal Garden Hotel to promote Football Shirt Friday which takes place today (April 22). The campaign is encouraging people to wear football shirt and donate £2 to the Bobby Moore Fund.

The former West Ham and Fulham defender famously lifted the Jules Rimet trophy at Wembley in 1966, a year after the hotel in Kensington High Street opened.

Mrs Moore visited the hotel and held her husband’s famous red No 6 England jersey to drum up publicity for the good cause, as staff there spend the day wearing the same shirt and donating £2 to the charity.
