TV presenter Gloria Hunniford hosted a sell-out Ladies Who Lunch event in Mellor.
East Lancashire ladies were among 180 guests who flocked to the Stanley House Hotel for the festive fundraiser, which raised more than £2,000 for charity, Self Unlimited.
The charity provides support for adults with learning difficulties and manages Stanley Grange, a complex for people with learning difficulties, Roach Road, Samlesbury.
Gloria answered questions from the audience about her charity work, life in the public eye, celebrity friends and colleagues, and her bestselling books, Next To You and Always With You. She also gave insights into her recent filming for popular TV shows.
