Over 280 guests attended the star-studded fundraiser, which featured a butterfly theme complete with specially designed table decorations, fairy lights and a giant stilt-walking butterfly.

The event was hosted by actor and comedian Alan Davies, who shared the stage with Liz Curtis, CEO and founder of The Lily Foundation. TV personalities Phil Tufnell and Josh Widdicombe were also among guests on the night.

Through ticket sales, raffles and auctions the event raised a total of £65,000 which will go towards supporting families and funding vital medical research.

Guests bid for incredible prizes including tickets to the filming of Top Gear, VIP access to a Manchester United pre-match training session and dinner for two at the world-famous Le Gavroche restaurant in Mayfair.
