It was during this year that the idea for Trinny London's makeup range went from a pipedream to a reality.

"I remember I was at the funeral of my husband and afterwards I had people around to my house and I had some very good friends and they said, 'Trinny we know you want to start this idea but you need to be responsible for Lyla. Maybe you should get a job instead?'

"I said to them I can't be 60 and wish I'd started it earlier. So, they said send us the business plan when you're ready, and they were one of the first investors."
