There was an auction, as always in aid of the Royal Marsden Hospital charity, as is the whole day. The blue leather jacket (worn by Dusty in the photograph on the left) raised £750.
Madeline Bell donated an Ossie Clarke dress which she wore on stage. This was bought by Katy Setterfield, who will no doubt be wearing it her Dusty act, as Dusty wore an almost identical dress when performing Spooky.
Chappells of Bond Street donated two books of Dusty's songs. |
 |
Shelby Lynne had sent signed copies of her Dusty inspired album "Just A Little Lovin'" |

The photograph section (left) has
an eye make-up design drawn by Dusty herself onto her own picture.
This was donated by Simon Bell. Other items donated by Simon included a picture of a cat with flowers which was on the wall in Dusty's home. |
| Special thanks to John Aitken, who, once more, spent all day on the door, Clive Burgess who sold hundreds if raffle tickets, Tere & Jen, the management & staff of Finnegan's Wake, and Jonathan Cohen for his tireless work & enthusiasm, and for supplying the keyboard. |
