Fancy a trip into Manchester suggy to see if you can spot him. :lol:

 

Well I was going to but my sister has rang me to ask if I'll go and help her pack boxes, she's moving house this weekend. :rolleyes: I'll not be around much today, :( I wonder if he'll be out and about this weekend in Manchester, singing for free in some bar like he did before? :cool:

Star-studded guest list for party of the decadeDec 14 2006

 

by Kate Dilworth, Formby Times

 

 

WITH a star-studded guest list, internationally renowned artists providing the entertainment, a Heathcotes buffet and a final bill of £1.5m, it's going to take some beating.

 

But that's the challenge next year for Ray and Lisa Smith, who threw what is arguably Formby's party of the year - if not decade - at their plush Victoria Road home.

 

The event proved to be a massive draw not just for the guests, but star-spotters who came from far and wide to catch a glimpse of their heroes.

 

Behind the tight security, the world's top acts, including Lionel Richie, Westlife and Will Young , wowed an audience which included Liverpool FC legend Kenny Dalglish, Ricky Tomlinson and the X-Factor's Chico.

 

Coronation Street's Kirk and Tyrone oversaw the arrival of Spiderman, who showed off his powers by entering the party from the trees and climbing along the house.

He was closely followed by Superman, who flew in from the roof amid a hail of fireworks!

 

guests then entered a huge marquee through a giant wardrobe, which began this year's theme of Narnia 2006.

 

Star-studded guest list for party of the decade

 

Inside they found a playground for all ages - guests enjoyed dodgems, fairground rides, arcade games, ski simulators, a giant scalextric as well as ball ponds and soft play areas.

 

A traditional Nativity scene was bought to life with real donkey, turkeys and sheep, while nearby a fortune-telling ice queen sat on a floor-to-ceiling ice throne.

 

Cruella de Ville and her Dalmatians joined Aladdin and his monkey to mingle with guests, while the penguins languished within a specially built indoor igloo scene.

 

Delighting children throughout the afternoon were X factor star Chico and cartoon characters including Homer and Bart Simpson, Dennis the Menace, the Tweenies and Scooby Doo, while Barney the Dinosaur took to the stage along with a group of breakdancers.

 

The 300 guests feasted on a buffet by Heathcotes, oven furnace pizzas and traditional fayre such as candy apples and roast chestnuts - Mrs Claus even had a full working kitchen to cook mince pies in front of the guests.

 

A herd of live reindeer grazed on the snow-covered lawn outside.

Melissa Martland, managing director of organisers North West Events, said: 'It was an absolute pleasure working with the Smiths again.'

 

The family went on to say a particular thank you to all the neighbours who were very patient during the set, in particular Roy and Veronica Morris and Ray and Rita Parr.
