A ladies’ luncheon was held in the grand setting of Eaton Park, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Westminster, near Chester.

The occasion was in aid of Wirral Hospice St John’s. The speaker was BBC Breakfast presenter Louise Minchin, who joined 150 guests and shared some of her interesting career experiences with them. Over £4,000 was raised for St John’s from ticket sales, a raffle and a table draw
