Over 1,100 people joined the 32 Roses, their Escorts, celebrities, sponsors and guests for the Kerrygold sponsored Rose Ball last night and TraleeToday.ie was there to capture the glamour.
Among the well-known celebrities attending were Love/Hate actor Tom Vaughan Lawlor, TV Presenter Diane Banici, GAA President Liam O Neill, New York Fashion Designer Don O’Neill, RTE presenters Dáithí Ó Sé and Mary Kennedy and Ministers Jimmy Deenihan and Damien English.
There was even a 33rd Rose as 14-year-old Colleen Whelan from Graiguenamanagh, Co Kilkenny saw her dream to become a Rose come true thanks to the Share a Dream Foundation (click here for story).
Brook Catering made sure the guests had a sumptuous feast (click here to see the menu and how they prepared for the event), the magnificent band Brass & Co entertained the guests with a fabulous mix of music, while local favourite Chris Shortt rounded-off the night into the early hours of the morning with his exciting disco.
