A sell-out audience packed out Blackpool Opera House for the inaugural Bobby Ball Rock On Variety show in honour of the entertainment legend.

Bobby's wife Yvonne and his children Joanne, Rob, Darren and family joined a host of showbiz stars from Jason Manford, Russell Watson and Sheridan Smith for a very special evening of entertainment, raising vital funds for the Bobby Ball Foundation.

The comic, actor, singer and television host, who was adored by millions for his Cannon and Ball Show alongside his lifelong friend Tommy Cannon, died on October 28 2020, aged 76.

Here are some of the highlights so far from the variety event live at Blackpool Opera House.
