Fashion Show - Norwich Airport

The Charity Fashion Show was held at The Holiday Inn, Norwich Airport on Tuesday, 7th June

It has raised £7000 for Help for Heroes and over £2300 for the trust from this event and two other previous events.  The event was a complete sell out and the packed audience were treated to a fun and entertaining evening.  The moment the soldiers from 2 PARA entered the room the audience rose to their feet to applaud and welcome them home from their recent tour of duty in Afghanistan.  The lads were joined on the catwalk by the girls to model a selection of clothes provided by Jarrold – and they all looked amazing.  Evening wear, provided by Diva in Wymondham was also shown while the models hair was styled by The Gallery Haircutters and make-up by MAC in Jarrold.

The evening culminated in the audience, once again on their feet, joining in with a rendition of YMCA!  A fantastic evening was had by all.
