Flappers, gangsters and bootleggers were to the fore as supporters of Israel welfare charity Meir Panim dressed accordingly for a roaring '20s jazz night in London on Monday.

More than 100 people attended the event, featuring a number of jazz bands and a rendition of the Amy Winehouse song, Valerie, by a group of flappers.

Committee co-founder Danni Godsi said: "We want to support Meir Panim through appealing to London students and young professionals, putting on classic events which raise awareness and show people a good time."

The evening raised £1,200 towards Meir Panim projects including soup kitchens, daily hot meals for thousands of pupils and after-school clubs.
