Queenies Christmas party

Christmas arrived early last week at a star studded fundraiser organised by celebrity hairdresser Herbert Howe.

The festive gala ball was organised to raise funds for his Christmas Charity appeal.

Queenies Christmas will support this year’s Lord Mayor's Children’s Christmas party at the Town Hall as well as provide Christmas Lunch for 300 people who would normally be alone for Christmas.

The festivities at the Crowne Plaza included Christmas dinner, Champagne, Father Christmas’s Grotto with superb entertainment from Liz McLarnon, Joe Longthorne and comedian Karl Schofield and superbly compered by Radio City’s Peter Price.

Patron of the charity Jennifer Ellison, could not be there as she is appearing in Boeing Boeing in the West End, but send a video message on the night.

Claire Sweeney was there to show her support along with Cllr Warren Bradley and his wife and the Lord and Lady Mayoress.
