KEY POINTS:
More than 300 mothers, daughters and the occasional son filled the grand ballroom of the Langham Hotel yesterday afternoon for a Mother's Day afternoon tea.
Sipping champagne and tea, guests were treated to platters of cucumber sandwiches, petits fours and other sweet treats while listening to a jazztrio.
TV presenter Alison Mau hosted the event, which raised money for the Breast Cancer Research Trust. Ten dollars of every ticket sold went to the trust, as did the profits of a silent auction run throughout the afternoon.
Mau was unable to spend the day with her mother, who lives in Australia, but instead treated her aunt and mother-in-law to an afternoon out.
World fashion designer Denise L'Estrange-Corbet also celebrated her Mother's Day at the Langham with her husband, Francis Hooper.
