ONE of Hampshire’s oldest medical charities held a sell-out ball at The Grand Harbour Hotel in Southampton.

Leukaemia Busters' Silver Ball was hosted by former England cricket captain David Gower – the charity’s patron.

A champagne reception, three-course meal, auctions, raffle and music from Madison Heights delighted guests.

Founded by David and Bee Flavell, Leukaemia Busters is celebrating 25 years of research, with its research laboratory at the city’s General Hospital.
