The ball was staged in the grounds of Grant and Anthea’s home and over 500 guest
were entertained by performances from Ray Quinn and Chico from the X-Factor, and
opera star Keedie. The highlight of the evening was performances from the cast of
the London musical, Rat Pack.

Master of ceremonies Bobby Davro kept guests amused throughout the evening while
they were given the opportunity to bid for a range of exclusive prizes ranging from
a two-week holiday at Bryan Adam’s Villa in Mustique to five BMW Mini Coopers.

The annual event has now raised over £1.5 million.
