TV soap Emmerdale was in Henley, when actress Fiona Wade, who plays Priya Sharma, made a special appearance at the Oesophageal Patients Association’s (OPA) head office.

Fiona is a patron of the association and was in town last Wednesday to open what its new UK base on High Street.

Fiona said: “I was honoured to be asked to open these new offices and to continue to support the work of the Oesophageal Patients Association.

“I lost my father to oesophageal cancer, and I had never heard of this type of cancer before and always feel that if we had been more aware of oesophageal cancer and reflux disease then, for sure, earlier diagnosis would have made a huge difference and maybe saved his life.”
