THE search for County Durham's most beautiful woman has reached the final stage.

Nine girls have made it through to the final of Miss Durham 2015, which takes place at Sedgefield Racecourse on Saturday, April 18, 2015.

The lucky winner will go on to represent County Durham in Miss England, where she could go on to secure a place in Miss World, the most famous beauty pageant on the planet.

The event will support ABF The Soldiers Charity once again this year and award-winning Sadie the Bra Lady will be one of the judges.
