Lights, Camera, Action saw ice skaters of all backgrounds, ages and abilities perform to music from Grease, Mamma Mia, Moana and Wicked, at Telford Ice Rink.

A cast of more than 30 took part in the show, with special guests popping up throughout the evening.

Among them were triple British dance champion Daniella Alessi, 13-year-old Edie Garbett from Solihull and Cardiff Magneta synchro team skater Demi-Lea Garcia.

The event was organised by Lauren Capes-Bursell and Brianne Jones.

Cash raised will go towards the Georgia Williams Trust, which offers grants of up to £250 for individuals or organisations looking for the opportunity for adventure and enjoyment.

Dee Jones, Brieanne's mum, said: "It was a brilliant event. We're hoping to do it again next year.

"It'll be a hard one to follow. There were only about 10 seats left and it's a 700-seat arena. It was busy as if it was a hockey game."

The trust was set up by Georgia’s parents in memory of their daughter who was killed in 2013, aged 17.
