A glitzy fundraising event held at Edinburgh's Sheraton Grand Hotel has raised £73,555 for cancer support charity Maggie's.
More than 400 stylish supporters enjoyed an uplifting mix of entertainment and emotional storytelling as the Ladies Love Lunch extravaganza returned for its 13th year. This year's event was hosted by Scottish comedian Craig Hill, who brought his trademark energy and humour to the afternoon, ensuring fun from the outset.
Guests were treated to a luxurious three-course meal prepared by Sheraton Grand's chefs, alongside a drink reception sponsored by Lind and Lime and entertainment from BLEEKER, who closed the event with a celebratory performance.
