This year’s Gala is the 22nd annual event put on by the American *********** Association to strengthen ties between the two countries despite being separated by around 11,000km of the Pacific ocean.

This year a focus was put on helping with the recovery from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires which ripped through 55,000 acres of land in January.

More than 16,000 structures were destroyed and 28 lives were lost.

Three *********** stars were inducted into the organisation’s list of honourees.
