Lulu on stage at golden charity event

Guests of honour at the ball, on September 4, will be Prince Albert of Monaco and his wife, Princess Charlene.

The couple’s visit to Leeds comes nearly 40 years after the Prince’s parents, Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, attended a fund-raising ball at the Queens Hotel in the city.

The ball, which will be compered by comedian and impressionist Bobby Davro is the highlight of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Yorkshire committee of the Variety Club.

As well as Lulu, the line up for ball also includes sixties sensation, The Manfreds and quartet, Blake.

In the half century since its formation, the Yorkshire branch of the Variety Club Children’s Charity has raised millions, helping to improve the lives of sick, disabled and disadvantaged children.
