The venue was jam-packed with many of her friends, not only from within the bonfire community but many of her personal friends, family and friends from other organisations to which she belonged [also attended].
"It was a fantastic, fun evening [with] many people wearing colourful clothes as requested, and we were absolutely stunned and delighted to have raised £1,800. We hope we did her proud.”
