You may have seen her in Princess Quay or the Prospect Centre rattling her tin for Age Concern. She's doing a great job and has already raised Β£65,000. Her ambition is to raise Β£100,000 but Mrs Bumblebee says there's no such thing as retirement.

When she takes her costume off, her name is Jean Bishop and she's the grand age of 85.
