A 13-year-old from Coulsdon has made her way to the finals of an animal charity’s photograph competition.

Lucy Best, a student at Greenacre School in Banstead, has been picked as one of the finalists in the RSPCA Young Photographer Awards 2009.

Miss Best entered the Pet Personality category with a photo of her pet bearded dragon, Steg.

The budding snapper will be attending an awards ceremony at the Tower of London in December, hosted by former Blue Peter presenter, Matt Baker.
