Britain's Prince William marked the end of his year as a charity patron last night (05.11.08).
The royal attended The Grand Finale evening - a concert and dinner for 500 guests - to celebrate both the end of his time with Wellbeing of Women, and the announcement that the charity will be benefiting from the Lord Mayor's appeal.
Every year London's Lord Mayor raises money for selected charities, and Wellbeing of Women - which funds research into women's health - was chosen this year, along with blindness prevention charity Orbis.
William said: "It is fantastic that enough money has been raised for the two charities to develop their life-saving projects and I look forward to following the progress of these valuable initiatives in the future."
After the hour-long concert, William met Jennifer - who was wearing a stunning red dress - and praised her musical prowess
During the evening, the 26-year-old prince was entertained by teenage classical violinist Jennifer Pike at St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
Jennifer, who won the BBC Young Musician of the Year aged 12 in 2002, performed Mendelssohn's violin concerto in E minor and was accompanied by the Philharmonia Orchestra.
After the hour-long concert, William met Jennifer - who was wearing a stunning red dress - and praised her musical prowess. He also revealed he had learned to play the drums and trumpet when he was at school.
