The Wentworth Club in Virginia Water provided a beautiful setting for the second annual 'Lunch for Life.' The staggering total of almost £45,000 raised will be donated to the Ashford & St. Peter's Breast Care Unit and Macmillan Cancer Support.

The idea for 'Lunch for Life' was conceived by Wentworth resident Lorna Ponti, who is a survivor of breast cancer. Among the guests were professional golfer Roger Chapman and celebrity chefs Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi and Valentina Harris. The Incognitos, from Eton College, sang.
