An afternoon tea with a My Fair Lady theme raised £375 for Scarborough RNLI
The glamorous event, at the Palm Court Hotel, was attended by 75 members of Scarborough Ladies Lifeboat Guild and guests, all dressed as if they were going to Ascot.
Alan Hargreaves and Malcolm Booth performed Why Can't a Woman be more like a Man?
The prize for the best outfit was won by Jean Colling.
Organiser Judith Hargreaves said: ‘Thanks to Cosmetique for the donation of hats once again and to the Palm Court for an excellent afternoon tea.’
