SHE may be much too young to remember 80s pop star Rick Astley, but three-year-old Zebunisha Yusuf from Astley Bridge, Bolton, still managed to get his autograph when the singer switched on the Christmas lights at the Lowry Centre.

Rick, who comes from Newton-le-Willows, was at the mall to launch the Christmas activities which include a Santa Ice Mine grotto.

The icon, famous for such hits as "Never Gonna Give You Up"and "When I fall in Love"also performed at the Lowry as part of his UK tour.
