A PINK party took place in Penge in memory of a woman who died of breast cancer.

Barbara Ealy, 45, died of breast cancer last year and her friends wanted to raise funds for St Christopher's Hospice, in Lawrie Park Road, Sydenham, and Breast Cancer Care, two charities which helped Barbara.

About 100 people partied the night away at the Conservative Club, in Croydon Road, and raised £1,200.

Debbie Brewer, 40, of St John's Road, was a close friend of Mrs Ealy.

She said: "We all felt we would like to give something back to the charities which helped Barbara. Everyone is affected by cancer."
