Lorna Luxe Hosts Charity Auction to Honor Late Husband

Lorna Luxe has revealed that she finally went ahead with her charity auction in honour of her late husband John Andrews - after his death from cancer last month.

The businessman, who was 21 years Lorna's senior, battled stage four adrenal after being diagnosed in April 2023.

Lorna announced his death on February 12. The couple had been married for 16 years. 

She returned to her main Instagram grid for the first time since his death on Tuesday as she shared clips from the charity auction, which she'd been planning to do with him.

It was then cancelled when he became too ill and shortly afterwards he passed away following his lengthy health battle. The event raised money for Maggie's cancer charity and The Meath Epilepsy Charity.

Her post began with a sweet clip of her with John as she said: 'I've got a camera roll full of little moments like this and I'm going to treasure them all...'. The caption read: 'He's gone and yet he is everywhere.'

'So last Saturday in honour of John we finally got around to hosting the charity sale that we'd been promising. He'd been so determined for me to follow it through...', she said.

She then shared videos of herself getting ready to go to the event in Manchester.

Lorna told how when she feels lonely she often finds comfort in coming onto social media and chatting to her followers. 

Speaking of the event she said she was gobsmacked at the incredible turnout as she filmed the crowds queuing to get into the venue. 

Lorna said: 'The event felt like more than just a way to raise money for charity, it felt like a chance to celebrate John. He would have absolutely loved this event.

'So moving forward I am always going to ask myself - 'what would John do?'. 

She then penned in the caption of the post: 'What would John do? We raised a ton of cash for two charities close to our heart this weekend… Oh and I've got to move house.'

Earlier on Tuesday Lorna shared an unseen video of John, explaining it is bittersweet watching back footage.

Lorna admitted she was 'so grateful' to have hours of footage of John, who regularly featured on her social media.

The footage showed John, who co-founded Lorna's brand L.A-Space, gazingly adoringly at his wife as she arrived in shot in her dressing gown, ready to shoot one their regular Instagram updates.  

'A camera roll full of outtakes… we never did reshoots we just left the camera running and I'm so grateful we did,' Lorna captioned the sweet video.
