Glamorous models hit the catwalk in a fund-raising fashion show at Brighton's Grand Hotel.

The NCH Action for Children show, now in its second year, was hosted by television presenter Paul Ross and broadcaster Carol Barnes.

Hundreds of fashion followers and charity supporters were treated to a whirl of colour and music as models paraded the latest designs, including those from Amanda Wakely, Inside-Out Designs, The Glasshouse and Laura Ashley.

Paul Ross welcomed models from Fresh Agency for a show which included children's play clothes, evening dresses and avant-garde designs for larger women.

It was followed by a charity auction which saw a weekend for two at the Millennium Copthorne Hotel, London, go under the hammer for £180 and a signed Brighton and Hove Albion shirt fetch £50.

Paul Ross scooped a sheepskin coat belonging to sports commentator John Motson for £80.

The event was organised by Sue Checkland and Janis Kinsey with support from EDS Worthing, American Express and DMH Crawley.

Janis said: "The generous commitment of time and resources from all those involved means we have no overheads, so all the money will go straight to NCH Action for Children."
