The Raisa Gorbachev Foundation Gala

As a guest of Graydon Carter, Editor of Vanity Fair,  who co-hosted the event with Evegeny Lebedev, this  gala held at Lebedev's house in Hampton Court for The Raisa Gorbachev Foundation for children with cancer and the UK's leading cancer charity, Marie Curie Cancer Care - a goodly sum was raised for these splendid charities.

Prior to the auction, there was a spectacular sight of a floating moon with an acrobat attached-sensational!  Hampton Court Palace has some of the oldest trees in England, some of which were skilfully lit to highlight their magnificence.
