A BARBIE fan from Great Sankey won a personal store tour with the icon and £50 worth of Barbie goodies to celebrate the fashion doll’s 50th birthday.

Patricia Rathbone took her two grandchildren Lucia and Fion to Warrington's Toys 'R' Us as a real-life Barbie paid a visit to the store as part of a nationwide tour for the anniversary celebrations.

More than 200 children came along on the day to have their pictures taken with Barbie.
