The Prom 17 was organised by Vicki Wilson and Hannah Sonko, who spent eight months preparing for the big night out.

Vicki said: “It was for adults who missed a prom and we believe it was the first of its kind in Rugby.

The event attracted 130 people and took place at Rugby Railway Club on January 21.

No prom night would be complete without a king and queen - the titles went to Matthew and Tracy Sweet.

Best Dressed awards went to David Davidson and Stacy Townsend, who both work at Chicos Hair Design in Gas Street, Rugby.
