ALEX James - formerly bassist with pop supergroup Blur and now a Cotswold farmer - features in one of 12 ‘pawtraits’ included in a charity’s calendar depicting the relationship between celebrities and their pets.

Now a farmer at Kingham, near Chipping Norton, Alex is pictured in the calendar with Socks, his pet whippet.

Scarlet Page - daughter of Jimmy Page, guitarist with legendary rock band Led Zeppelin - took the photographs for The People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) 2009 Pet Pawtraits Calendar.

All proceeds from the calendar’s sales will help fund the PDSA’s work to provide free veterinary care for sick or injured pets of people unable to afford veterinary fees.

Alesha Dixon, Jenni Falconer, John Partridge, Johnny Vegas, Jonathan Ansell, Kym Ryder, Matt Baker, Melinda Messenger, Nathaniel Parker, Sandi Thom and Summer Strallen are the other celebrities pictured with their pets.

To buy a calendar, visit one of the PDSA’s 179 charity shops, log onto www.pdsa.org.uk/petpawtraits or telephone 0800 917 2509.
