Campaigning for National Beauty Day

Former Miss Great Britain contestants Amanda Harrington (left) and Louise Cole turned out in boaters and blazers on the Thames in Henley this week to campaign for a National Beauty Day.

"We need more beauty in our everyday lives," Louise told the Standard. "We want to see everyone make themselves beautiful for a day," said Amanda.

The two, who are standing as independents in the coming Henley by-election on June 26th, provide some much-needed glamour to a field of candidates dominated by men.

Asked which they would prefer to be, Miss World or the next Prime Minister, they chorused: "The Prime Minister, of course. He is much more powerful."
