The ‘Strictly Agnes Webb’ charity night was held in the Everglades Hotel on Saturday and was organised by Roisin Rosborough to raise funds for the Cancer Centre in Derry, Ward 6, Altnagelvin Hospital and the AT Society in memory of Agnes.

Roisin said that it proved to be a hugely successful night, exceeding all expectations with over 200 people in attendance.

"It was wonderful for Laura, Emma, David and Olivia to see such an enormous turnout of people there for their mummy – a life that was very special to so many, from Rev. David Latimer, retired family Doctor Des Brown, past school teachers, neighbours and friends,” Roisin said.

"The atmosphere was joyous and was a perfect reflection of the wonderful impact Agnes had on the wider community. A very special thank you to Mayor, Lilian Seenoi-Barr, and a huge thank you to Rosettta McConomy (a very close personal friend of the Webb family) and Elan Campbell for working and training our contestants for their big performances on stage, also to Rosetta’s school of dance the MCBDA who put on show stopping performances throughout the night, they were second to none. Rosetta was instrumental in the entire event throughout and I can’t thank her enough.

"Also a big thank you to my wonderful judges for the evening, social media sensation and head judge Maeve Madden who travelled from Dublin to attend the event and did a stellar job in representing the charities and the wider family circle and also to Michael McGill co.
