Visitors strolled round Joanna Lumley’s childhood garden in the sun to support a hospice on Sunday.
The Absolutely Fabulous sitcom star moved to 91 West Hill Avenue, Epsom, at the age of nine and lived there two years during the 1950s.
On Sunday Esther Barley, who has owned the house since 1962, threw open her garden to raise money for Princess Alice Hospice.

Neighbouring open gardens in Meadway, Ridgeway and West Hill Avenue also featured stalls, face painting, a tombola and refreshments.
Alice Windsor, community and events fundraiser, said the open garden event raised thousands of pounds for the hospice.
Ms Windsor said: "It was really successful. The weather was great and it was nice to see the community coming together, they are close-knit neighbours."
In Lumley's autobiography, No Room for Secrets, she remembers studying at Mickledene boarding school in Kent when the family moved to West Hill Avenue.
She said: "My father was working for the War Office before going back to Malaya, and these were army quarters, that is to say the house was found for us by the Army.
"The house was at the bottom of a cul-de-sac, with a neat little garden of full of golden rod, apple trees, laurels and a large slabby rock garden with small indeterminate plants crawling out of the cracks."
The actress recounts playing the piano in the sitting room and watching children’s TV shows, starring Bill and Ben, at their next-door neighbours.
