Some pictures of a proverbial Swan - all grace and beauty up top, ugly great paddles below. Last Tuesday it was all elegance and charm in the Liverpool Cathedral and behind the scenes/screens madness, magic and genius. Paul Askew and his team pulled off a wonderful feast; including scallops, blackfaced lamb and duck egg tarts, a delicious and memorable menu for 160 with what seemed like just six gas rings and a trestle table (looks like a hug or two as well!).

The Mersey Partnership hosted a dinner to launch the 'Made in Liverpool City Region' awareness campaign, an initiative to raise the profile and celebrate the success of the Liverpool City Region's knowledge intensive businesses.

Guest of honour was Dr Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover who are launching the Range Rover Evoque (made in Liverpool) and being launched in more than 150 countries around the world and creating over 1,500 new jobs at Halewood.

You can see the life sized pink bendy wire Evoque was perfectly placed under the Tracey Emin piece 'for You'!
