Stars from the sporting world and other famous faces joined together at Goodwood to play a round of golf and raise money for charity.
Television presenters including Bruce Forsyth and Jamie Theakston were seen teeing off along with sporting greats including Sir Ian Botham and Denise Lewis.

The event called The Jodie Kidd Golf Day Classic was organised by the celebrity model in a
id of children's charity The NSPCC, the Monsoon Trust, which helps improve the lives of underprivileged children in India, and Greatwood, which helps rehabilitate ex-racehorses.

Jodie Kidd said: "It's basically a day where people can come and enjoy the surroundings, have fun and play some golf and then have a nice dinner all to raise money for three fantastic charities."

She added: "I'm hoping to plan more events at Goodwood in the future. I'm thinking about a race day next."

Television presenter Bruce Forsyth spent the night before the event at Goodwood Park Hotel.

He said: "I am here to support Jodie and the charities she works so hard for.

"I take my golf very seriously and have been playing for a good 60 years."

Sportsmen Matt Dawson MBE, Lewis, Sir Ian and Kenny Logan hit a few practise shots on the driving range along with actor Dougray Scott, Theakston and Patrick Kielty before going off to play a round.

It was the second year the charity event has been hosted at Goodwood.
After the golf, the celebrities enjoyed a gala dinner in the ballroom at Goodwood House followed by an auction to raise money for the charities.
