Celebrity patrons donned their best frocks and suits to support Ellenor hospice's Orange Ball, which raised an impressive £62,000 - and to celebrate the Kent charity's 30th birthday.
The central London event - which was held next door to St Paul's Cathedral - was attended by The Wanted's Tom Parker, Eastenders actress Cheryl Fergison, and Charlotte Hawkins from Good Morning Britain.

Meanwhile, entertainment was provided by The Voice finalist Jamie Johnson, dancing group FabbaGirls and balloon model Miss Ballooniverse.
Kent cricket legend Chris Cowdrey hosted the auction - with prizes ranging from lunch with Mr Parker, to a behind-the-scenes tour of the Good Morning studio, tickets to Arsenal v Man City, and a Harley Davidson.

Barnehurst couple Liz Green, 28, and Matt Wenham, 39, the parents of one year-old Mia, gave an emotional account of how Ellenor has helped them to cope with the shock of finding themselves with a terminally ill child.
Northall Road resident Miss Green said: "With the 24/7 help and support of Ellenor, we can care for Mia at home.

"We could be blessed with five to 15 years with our precious daughter and, every year we reach will be a milestone.
"I feel safe knowing Ellenor will be by our side throughout."

"We are already looking ahead to next year and making plans for the Orange Ball 2016."
