A FASHION show raised £3,064 for respite care at a Durham City hospice.

The show, which took place at the Gala Theatre earlier this month, was organised by the local branch of Soroptimist International to raise money for overnight beds at St Cuthbert's Hospice.

The event was opened by the Mayor of Durham, Councillor Mary Hawgood, one of the founders of the hospice.

It featured clothes from the Newcastle branches of John Lewis and Fenwick's, with models from A&M model agency and hair by Saks.

Organisers have thanked all those who supported the event.
