Star Will leads gala evening for Milly

Nearly 2,000 people attended a gala event to celebrate the life of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler.

Pop Idol winner Will Young headlined Music And Laughter For Milly at the London Palladium last night.

Hosted by comedian Brian Conley, the show featured Pop Idol finalist Jessica Garlick and impressionist Alistair McGowan.

All profits go to Milly's Fund - set up in her memory to increase safety awareness among children and young adults. Milly, 13, disappeared in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, in March last year.

Her body was found 20 miles away in Yateley Heath Woods, Hampshire, six months later. Her killer has not been found.
