Celebs lend hand to catwalk show

Member Pat Desborough said on behalf of the organising committee: "We wanted to hold an event which would enable our members to come together to embrace our zest for life and celebrate our achievements as individuals and as a group."
So on Saturday, October 4 a giant fashion show was organised for Breakthrough Breast Cancer with the members of the group taking to the catwalk and modelling the clothes.
The event was a total sell out, with all 300 tickets going within weeks and businesses across the Chilterns and South Bucks offering up clothes for the catwalk.
After Philip Schofield opened the event, Beverley performed some of her songs and explained the inspiration behind each one.
At the end she was presented with a bouquet by Sandy McPherson, surgeon at the Chiltern and Wycombe Hospitals.
Beverley said: "Having had breast cancer myself I was pleased to be able to support this fantastic event and to play my part in helping to continue to raise awareness for breast cancer as a whole and this amazing local support group in particular.
"I know the amount of energy and time that has been put in to ensure this event will be a prestigious and memorable occasion and the models, dancers and organisers deserve the utmost praise for all their hard work."
Other entertainment was provided in the form of a dance from the Kobika Youth Dance Company, led by Katie Cobie.
Ticket sales and a raffle, sold by male relatives during the show, meant the final amount raised will be in excess of £5,000.
