A Night to Remember went ahead at Leeds Town Hall last night (March 21) in honour of St Gemma’s Hospice, which opened in 1978 to care for people with terminal illnesses.

ITV’s Duncan Wood and Christine Talbot hosted the event, which gave attendees the chance to reflect on the last four decades of the charity’s service.
