A SPECTACLE wearer from Northwich has been chosen as one of the best in the north west.

Roz Deacon has been chosen from hundreds of people across the north west as a regional finalist for Specsavers' Spectacle Wearer of the Year.

The competition has seen glasses wearers sharing their selfies online and entering in branches across the UK and Republic of Ireland.

The winner will receive £10,000 and a luxury holiday in the Bahamas and, as regional finalist, Roz has already been given a bottle of champagne and a £150 glasses voucher.

Roz said: "It was a lovely surprise to find out I am a regional finalist.

"I completely embrace wearing glasses and have different pairs for different occasions."

Salma Kamaluddin, Specsavers Northwich store director, said: "We are thrilled that one of the regional finalists is a customer from our Northwich store.

"We wish Roz all the very best for the rest of the competition."

The awards were launched by Spice Girls singer and Heart FM DJ Emma Bunton earlier this year.

If she triumphs in her age category, Roz could meet Emma at the celeb-packed Spectacle Wearer of the Year awards ceremony at London’s 8 Northumberland Avenue in October.

All age category winners will also win a VIP makeover.
