There was also performances by Elton John Tribute - Young Elton, James B Partridge famous for his assembly bangers, The Red Rosettes Show Chorus, local performer Lauren Wood and artists from Inspire Youth Zone.

The event, which hundreds turned out for, was sponsored by Chorley Eats, and hosted by BBC Radio Lancashire’s Graham Liver from 1pm.
