Every year the London Branch
of The Red Cross holds a charity ball. The money raised
contributes to the £4.5 million needed to continue
their 24 hour emergency response services in the capital
each year. The event always has a different theme from;
"James Bond 007" at The Grosvenor House Hotel 1995, "The
Spanish Ball" with Joaquin Cortés at The Royal
Albert Hall in 1996, and "The Glory Of Russia" at The
Grosvenor House Hotel in 1997.
