Attendees included antiques expert Jamie Breese, who acted as auctioneer, actor Nick Hardcastle (compere for the evening), Harry Potter actors James and Oliver Phelps, Big Brother’s Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace and Make-A-Wish Patron Justin Fletcher, aka Cbeebies’ Mr Tumble.

Entertainment was provided by the cast of the West End show Thriller Live, with performances also from Stella Mann’s Musical Theatre Students and singers The I Dolls

A substantial sum was raised, thanks to the generosity of the evening’s guests, with one of the biggest fundraisers being a prize of tea at The Ritz with another Make-A-Wish Patron, Jude Law, which attracted a fantastic bid of £20,000.
