IT was a celebrity spotting dream for visitors of the Duke of Essex Polo Trophy this year which was headlined by former Destiny Child singer Kelly Rowland.
She entertained the crowds in the Duke's Marquee at Gaynes Park in Coopersale, Epping, where other stars included glamour model Jordan; members of boy band Blue; Britain's Got Talent star Farrel Smith; and Rod Stewart's wife Penny Lancaster.
The annual event delivered world class polo to an audience of horse lovers as well as those who had never watched the sport before, in the grounds of one of Essex's finest stately homes.
Following the prize giving, there was a full day of entertainment with a gourmet three course lunch created by celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli.
VIP guests were invited to an after show party hosted in marquees with DJ Vernon James and live music.
Money raised from the day will go to Jordon's chosen charity VISION, which helps blind, visually impaired and dyslexic children.
As the patron of this years' event and a keen horse riding fan, the Polo Trophy was one in a series of events supported by Katie Price to raise money for the charity.
There was also an auction to raise money for Epping based charity the Rhys Daniels Trust.
