Celebrity party planner Julie Perry hosted a very glitzy 50th birthday party in Manchester.

Julie, who has organised some of her guests’ most special occasions - including birthdays, anniversaries and weddings - was delighted that so many of her VIP friends from Cheshire, Liverpool and Manchester, were able to celebrate her own special day at Elixir on Deansgate.

Guests including Wayne Rooney’s wife, Coleen, fashion designer Philip Armstrong, ex-Atomic Kitten Liz McLarnon, Jude Cisse and celebrity stylist Armand Beasley turned out for the bash.

Brad Jones and fiancée Dani Lawrence joined the party, with Dani looking stunning after the birth of their daughter Romi in January.

A packed schedule of events included a Michael Jackson tribute from BOYZ. Party-goers enjoyed cocktails and an array of delicious canapés.
