Gosportarian Malcolm Dent said: ‘This is a combined dog show, car rally and music stage in the heart of Gosport – all in aid of prostate cancer for men and breast cancer for women.

‘We recently held a prostate testing day for men and had 400 men tested.’

The dog show has 18 rosettes up for grabs, including prizes for best re-home, waggiest tail and the dog that looks the most like their owner.

Alongside the car rally there will be go-karts for youngsters, plus bouncy castles and a free music stage.
