TEAM of beauticians in Benfleet have launched their own ''Wear it with Pride' campaign to support our men fighting abroad at Christmas.

The staff at Beachcombers hair and beauty salon in Benfleet High Road have decided to provide our soldiers with some Christmas cheer by giving customers a permanent and colourful reminder of the Help for Heroes campaign. And they reckon they really have nailed it....literally.
