Women donned their gladrags for an evening of glitz and glamour at Owlerton Greyhound Track's annual Ladies Day.

Last night's event in aid of Sheffield's St Luke's Hospice, raised thousands of pounds.

It was also the biggest in its eight-year history, thanks to a multi-million pound investment which has doubled the restaurant's capacity and upgraded the boxes and bars.

As well as greyhound racing there was a Pimms reception, live entertainment, raffle, three-course meal and late disco. A hat competition featured celebrity judges.

Special guests included Lord Mayor Jane Bird, Mistress Cutler Janet Bridge, and Miss Sheffield Jamie-Lee Faulkner.

Claire Windsor, Owlerton Stadium marketing managing, said: "Ladies' Day is set to raise thousands for St Luke's Hospice and I'd like to thank the sponsors and the hundreds that turned out to support the event. It has once again proved to be the UK's most glamorous greyhound racing event."
