Over £300,000 was raised at this year’s Marina Dalglish Appeal Grand Ball, proceeds which will go toward helping cancer patients and their families in Merseyside.

Held at Formby Hall, the Parisian themed evening was attended by 400 guests who all enjoyed a three course meal, followed by Scottish pies at midnight – a special request from Kenny. Keeping guests entertained were Swanband, who flew in from Geneva, and make-up artists from Givenchy were on hand throughout the evening to offer complimentary make up services.

Marina Dalglish said: ‘Kenny and I never cease to be amazed at the generosity and commitment of our supporters who continue year after year to overwhelm us with their kindness. We would like to thank them all!’
