One of the ways Deborah raised the money was through the launch of her In The Style clothing range ‘Rebellious Hope’ - and celebrities and royals have been wearing T-shirts from the collection in support.

The T-shirts, which were designed by Deborah, are available in black, white and pink, with ‘Rebellious Hope’ printed across the front. Coming in at £15, 100% of the profits go directly to the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK, raising over one million pounds so far.

From Sophie Wessex to Lorraine Kelly, we’ve rounded up the stars that have been spotted wearing their ‘Rebellious Hope’ T-shirts as they pay tribute to Dame Deborah James - and how you can buy yours.
