Sir Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster have become the newest celebrity ambassadors for the King’s charity The King’s Foundation.

The veteran rocker, who has just celebrated his milestone 80th birthday, and model, special constable and Loose Women star Penny have joined the likes of David Beckham and Sienna Miller in the role.

Sir Rod, who has long been a supporter of the charity, said: “We are so pleased to be coming on board as ambassadors for The King’s Foundation and look forward to lending our support to this worthwhile cause, particularly during such a significant year for the charity.”

The singer, known for hits including Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?, Hot Legs and Maggie May, gathered with the King, Beckham and Miller at the foundation’s inaugural awards in St James’s Palace in June.

Penny, also known as Lady Stewart, said: “As a volunteer special constable, the Foundation’s approach to building communities – and how access to green spaces can help build better, healthier places – is particularly important to me.

“It’s an honour to be working with the Foundation and I can’t wait to meet more of the inspiring people who both learn with and work for the organisation.”

During their visit, the couple will meet staff at the Health and Wellbeing Centre on the Dumfries estate to hear about the range of perimenopause programmes and support groups available on site for the local community, linked to Penny’s role as patron of Menopause Mandate.

Kristina Murrin, chief executive of the charity, said: “Sir Rod and Lady Penny have long been friends and supporters of The King’s Foundation, so it’s fantastic to cement that relationship with the news of their ambassadorship.”
