A cricket festival brought together supporters, businesses and philanthropists to help raise funds for a Berkshire charity.

The Royal Household Cricket Club Festival took place in Windsor and supported the Berkshire Community Foundation (BCF), which has distributed more than £22 million to charitable organisations since 1985.

Attendees enjoyed hospitality, a friendly match between the Royal Household Cricket Club and Team BCF, and a performance by the Royal Marines Corps of Drums.

Geraldine Lejeune OBE DL, CEO of BCF, said: "We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended and supported this event.

"The generosity shown throughout the day will enable BCF to make a real difference across Berkshire by strengthening our ability to support local charities and community organisations tackling vital issues in our community.

"We were deeply honoured to be chosen as one of the festival's charity partners, and it was especially meaningful to celebrate the occasion during BCF's 40th year of giving."
