The Look Of Love said it all - as ABC’s Martin Fry and and Tony Christie kissed Woman Of Steel Kathleen Roberts to celebrate more than £50,000 raised at a Star backed concert to help fund a statue honouring the women, writes Graham Walker
Heaven 17, Eliot Kennedy, John Parr, John Reilly, John Shuttleworth, Baby Bird and a galaxy of other stars came out to shine.
And it smashed all expectations - on stage and off - with the region’s music legends performing greatest hits to raise much more than anticipated from a generous packed crowd at Sheffield City Hall.
Last-minute ticket sales and fundraising on the night more than doubled the ongoing appeal total, which today now stands at around £100,000.
It brings much closer the dream of having the £150,000 statue in place next year, marking the centenary of the start of the Great War, to honour the women who kept the steel mills going in two world wars.
