Guests were treated to readings from actress Alison Steadman, journalist Martin Bashir and art dealer Philip Mould.

Ely Cathedral Girls’ Choir also performed and attendees joined together to sing traditional carols.

Every Christmas there are thousands of children who get in touch with Childline because they have nowhere else to turn.

Ms. Keys is due to perform a Yuletide concert in the Waterside Theatre at 7.30 p.m. this evening. Contact the box office (02871314000) for availability.
