A famous Love Actually scene has been recreated by Barrow BID to urge people to get involved in recreating one of the most famous charity Christmas songs of all time.

The BID's newest member Mike Thompson, who joined in May of this year as a Project Co-ordinators, can be seen enacting the probably the most recognisable moment from the Richard Curtis film. 

In the scene, hopeless romantic Mark (Andrew Lincoln) uses Christmas Eve to declare his love for Juliet (Keira Knightly,) using a boombox and some cue cards 'because at Christmas you tell the truth'.

In a video posted on the Barrow BID page yesterday (September 30), Mark can be seen in Barrow town centre holding up white pieces of paper whilst Mariah Carey's 'All I want for Christmas is You' plays.

The papers say: "Tell them it's carol singers, with any luck by December, we will create 'do they know it's Christmas.'

"But for now we need your help. We are looking for people who work in Barrow town centre.

"To make a magical Christmas video.

'Do They Know It's Christmas?' is a charity song written in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for the 1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia.

A magical Christmas video is in the works (Image: Barrow BID) It was first recorded by Band Aid, a supergroup assembled by Geldof and Ure consisting of popular British and Irish musical acts.

The post added: "All we want for Christmas is for you to take part in our Christmas video.

"If you work in Barrow town centre and would like to join in, comment below with the name of your workplace and we'll be in touch with more details."
