Huge thanks to everyone who made the Strictly Our Achievements Celebration Event a success yesterday, especially the young people who not only were involved in the event planning right from the start but those too involved in the delivery of the event - you were all the stars of the show yesterday evening, especially Stephanie for your beautiful solo performance of All of Me by John Legend.
Lots more photos to follow including young people receiving their awards certificate on stage.
Our work and indeed this event could only be possible thanks to many people and foremost the young people.
