It was full house tonight in Belfast Waterfront for the Snooker Legends, with 2000 people in the audience.
Ronnie got a great reception, you can watch it here:

Biggest crowd at a snooker event for years in the UK! Selfie time 😉
And she provided some unexpected entertainment as well …
In all my career, I chose tonight to chalk up a first – falling down the stairs in front of 2000 people! #embarrassing
And this is the final word from Jason Francis:
