In Pictures: The best of Brave

By Lottie Hood

Hundreds of people enjoyed a night of fashion, fundraising and friendship at Brave last night.

The hugely popular Friends of Anchor show made its grand return to the Beach Ballroom, and the atmosphere was electric as 24 models took to the catwalk.

Always a night to remember, this year’s certainly did not disappoint with each of the models – who all have experience of cancer – adding their own flare to the catwalk.

The men donned casual wear, suits and kilts for three walks, or dances for some, down the catwalk followed by a grand finale.

Crowds will be back again tonight for the final night of Brave, before it’s the women’s turn to shine at Courage on the Catwalk tomorrow and Sunday.

Here are some of our favourite shots from Brave:
