THE Queen met a host of famous women yesterday as she celebrated females “who refuse to take no for an answer” at a lavish Buckingham Palace reception.

Actresses Sarah Lancashire, Ruth Jones and Meera Syal, barrister and ex-PM’s wife Cherie Blair, TV presenter Sandi Toksvig and ex-Spice Girl Victoria Beckham were among the guests.

They were invited to mark the 15th anniversary of Women of the World (WOW), an organisation which promotes gender equality globally.
