Bianca Jagger joined stars from the worlds of TV and music on Monday, getting a bird's-eye view from the Millennium Wheel to help kick off the Stop AIDS campaign, which aims to combat the disease.
After taking a spin on the London Eye, celebrities including Michelle Collins, Martin Bell and Beverley Knight dipped their hands in paint to leave prints on an enormous poster. Later, the stars made personal pledges as they voiced answers to the question: "What will you do to Stop AIDS?"
Bianca, former wife of Rolling Stone Mick and mother of jewellery designer Jade, said she would work against the sexual exploitation of children and child trafficking, and called on others to join the fight. "Each and every one of us has the ability to do something," she says.
R&B singer Beverley spoke to HELLO! about her recent visit to Brazil, where she saw at first hand the work of community-led projects set up to tackle issues such as AIDS. "I have people close to me who are living with HIV... I wanted to know how people were coping over there on top of dealing with poverty," she says.
