The charity's lunch, aimed to raise awareness and funding for gynaecological health, was attended by a whole host of stars, including co-founders Josephine Daniel, Tamara Beckwith Veroni, charity chair Jenny Halpern, Prince and Mika Simmon. Other attendees included Dame Joan Collins, Jack Savoretti, Elizabeth Hurley and Yasmin Le Bon. 

"I think it's very important to amplify the voice for gynae health and I think that the Lady Garden is revolutionising health," Sarah exclusively told HELLO! at the luncheon. "I think what breast cancer was all those years ago, and being an AAA patient of breast cancer... I don't want to say, sufferer, because I am not a sufferer I am a fighter and I'm a great survivor.

"I love the fact that I'm here, having had a mastectomy and now I'm talking about it big time and about Lady Garden being the voice of to amplify the voice for to help save lives."

Her daughter Beatrice added: "I think about the much-needed research into women's health and how little data there is around women's health, especially around cancers such as gynaecological cancers.

"I think organisations like this, they are able to fund some of that research and do masterful things and we need to spread awareness and keep talking about it."
