SIR MICHAEL AND LADY PARKINSON HAVE A ‘HEAVENLY’ TIME AT
CHILDREN’S CHARITY BALL
Sir Michael Parkinson CBE and Lady Parkinson enjoyed a wonderful evening’s entertainment at the fourth Heaven Sent Ball at Oakley Court Hotel in Windsor on Friday, 7th May, in aid of local children’s charity, Alexander Devine Children’s
Cancer Trust (ADCCT).
Guests were treated to a stirring performance by the Irish Guards (accompanied
by their Irish Wolfhound mascot!), and a comedy slot by the Comedy Virgins.
Martin Edwards, Chief Executive of Julia’s House Children’s Hospice in Dorset,
spoke movingly about how his hospice started, and how he is advising ADCCT
as they work to build the first children’s hospice for Berkshire.
Sir Michael, Founder Patron of ADCCT was delighted to be at the event with his
wife Lady Parkinson: “I am always impressed by the sheer dedication and
commitment of Fiona Devine and her team, and at events such as the Heaven
Sent Ball, it is wonderful to see how many members of the community throughout
Berkshire come together to show support for this wonderful cause.”
Fiona Devine added: “We are so grateful to Sir Michael and Lady Parkinson for
their continued support – they help our charity in so many ways. With their help,
and the backing of the community at large, we are confident that Alexander
Devine Children’s Hospice will soon become a reality for families with children
with life-limiting conditions throughout Berkshire.”
VisualDJ provided the Video Disco together with x6 40" Plasma screens for the auction lot presentations and live camera feeds for all of the acts and entertainment on the night.
