The daughter of the 'Wombles' author has donated her mum's Womble memorabilia and toys to charity - 'recycling' them just like her famous characters.

Kate Robertson was a little girl when she mispronounced 'Wimbledon' as 'Wombledon' on a walk with her mother Elisabeth on the famous common.

Her mum was immediately inspired and created The Wombles - furry creatures who help the environment by collecting and recycling rubbish in creative ways.

They appeared in books and a highly successful TV show in the UK in the 1970s - and even a chart-topping hit.
