It was all aboard for the 2014 St Leonard’s Hospice Sunflower Ball as local travel company Great Rail Journeys helped to launch the event by sponsoring the breakfast that will complete the night for ball-goers.

Alex Roberts, marketing director of Great Rail Journeys, joined member of the Sunflower Ball Committee at the National Railway Museum to mark the beginning of the build-up to the ball, which takes place at York Racecourse on Saturday, May 11, 2014.
