They were joined by the likes of royal supporters Zara Tindall and her brother Peter Phillips, as well as celebrities such as Deborah Meaden and Jack Savoretti, many of whom are long-term supporters of the charity.
Rachel's sighting comes after she made headlines for commenting on her relationship with former Countdown colleague Anne Robinson and for suggesting Strictly is "fixed".

Earlier this month, it was announced that Colin Murray would be stepping in as Anne's temporary replacement as Countdown host. Rachel subsequently celebrated the departure by taking to Instagram to share a selfie of herself beaming whilst holding a glass of wine in her hand. "Drinking a toast to the next chapter in Countdown history… I think you're going to like it," she wrote.

On Thursday's Piers Morgan's Uncensored, Anne dismissed the feud claims but claimed it was "important" to her that Rachel's mic was turned off. "No, I think Susie Dent is great," she told Piers after being asked if the onscreen talent hadn't got on behind the scenes. "Erm, Rachel Riley is completely brilliant at the maths...
"I didn't not get on, but some performers like a lot of noise around them before they go on air and others like me who are trying to get the contestants to remember what their hobbies are would like some quiet while she's doing that… it was important to me we took her mic off."
