An Abba superfan has devoted up to 14 hours a day and spent more than £850 handcrafting fabulous costumes ahead of the band's forthcoming UK shows. Retired chief council officer Jane Henry, 57, attends Abba events with daughters Lucy, 27, and Chloe, 23, every few months.
She is such a big fan of the Swedish supergroup that she even makes matching costumes for her youngest girl’s 19-month-old Yorkshire terrier-Pomeranian cross pooch Simba.
Jane, who lives in Tynemouth, North Tyneside, with her husband Richard Robson, 58, chairman of a property group, said: “As a family, Abba has been a constant source of happiness. We just love dressing up, as it’s such fun.
