Stars of the cabaret scene, including Drag With No Name, Sally Vate and Alfie Ordinary, gathered to help Dave Lynn celebrate a fabulous 50 years in drag at Legends Brighton on Sunday, March 23.

The event, a fundraiser for Alzheimer’s Research UK, raised almost £1,000: £195 from reserved seating, which was multiplied by five (for each decade), giving a total of £975.

This donation was made in memory of Dave’s dear friends, David Raven aka Maisie Trollette and the legendary Dame Barbara Windsor.

Legends Brighton wrote on Facebook: “A huge thank to everyone who attended and celebrated with us, such a special night for our Dave Lynn and a massive milestone of 50 years in drag!

“Dementia impacts the very core of who we are, our connection to the world, the people we love, the memories we cherish. With dementia, we slowly lose these. No one should have to endure the heartbreak of dementia. And that’s why Alzheimer’s Research exists.”
