THE bowler hat and cane are unmistakable - Preston's answer to cheeky Charlie Chaplin (pictured).
With his trademark moustache and distinctive walk, the famous entertainer amused shoppers at St George's Shopping Centre during the half-term break.
Charlie is one of four entertainers drafted by the shopping centre during the holiday.
Due to the St George's refurbishment work, Charlie and his pals are not performing in the Rotunda, but are walking around the precinct, making shoppers smile.
Today and tomorrow, Marco The Clown and Mr Tickles will be wandering around the shopping centre, raising a few smiles.
And on Saturday, Trumble The Clown will replace the duo.
