The anniversary dinner at Windsor Castle was a spectacular success and enjoyed by everybody lucky enough to attend.

The Prince of Wales gave an amusing and insightful speech, and paid moving tribute to everyone at The BFF, our supporters and, most importantly, the entertainers who have helped us with the body of work we can be justly proud of over the last ten years.

Among the guests were Jim Davidson OBE, Katherine Jenkins, Sir Michael Parkinson, Gary Rhodes and Jimmy Tarbuck; representatives from key company supporters such as British Airways, BAE Systems and BMW Park Lane; and major donors Lord Aschroft, Sir Donald Gosling and Sir Ronald Hobson.

We were very honoured to have the dinner at Windsor Castle as we are all very well aware these events are extremely rare. The Prince of Wales has always been a fantastic Patron of the Charity and maintains a keen interest in what we do. It was a triumph and a lovely way to celebrate ten years.
