Months of fundraising by a group of campaigning women ended with a swish summer ball.

The women dressed up in their finest for the event at Langdon Hills Golf Club to raise cash for cancer research.

Jackie May, 48, began fundraising earlier this year when she and her friends took part in the London Moonwalk sporting furry, frilly bras.

Jackie and her friends organised the ball to bring the figure they have raised for breast cancer up to around £5,000.
