Dionne Bromfield takes to the stage to pay tribute to late godmother Amy Winehouse

'I still feel connected to her': Dionne Bromfield takes to the stage to pay tribute to late godmother Amy Winehouse... on what would have been her 30th birthday

She was just 27 when she tragically passed away at her Camden home after binging on alcohol.

And on what would have been Amy Winehouse's 30th birthday, her talented goddaughter - Dionne Bromfield - has paid tribute to the late star, explaining she still feels a close 'connection' to Amy from beyond the grave.

The 17-year-old singer was one of a number of stars to take the stage at London's Gilgamesh venue on Friday night in a fundraising event for the Amy Winehouse Foundation on what would have been the Back To Black hitmaker's milestone birthday.

But after Amy's tragic death in July 2011, Dionne admitted there are moments when she's sure her former mentor is still watching over her.

In an interview with the Daily Star newspaper, she said: 'I still feel connected to Amy. When you lose somebody, no matter what, they're always going to be with you.

'You might not physically be able to see them, but they will be there. I'm very superstitious, so when things happen, I think, "Hang on, that was meant to happen for a reason" or "Oh my God, is that Amy?"

Tragic: Amy was found dead at her Camden home in the early hours of July 23 2011, with a postmortem examination later revealing the tragic star had died as a result of alcohol intoxication

'Or even dreams. I've had dreams so close to reality you kind of think, "Was she there for that second?" It was like having an older sister.'

Dionne was joined at the star-studded event on Friday night by the likes of TV presenter Mica Paris and Channel 4 newsreader, Jon Snow, who took to the stage to voice Blur's iconic hit, Parklife.

Writing on his Twitter page, he said: '@amysfoundation #amys30 just arrived for her 30th birthday fun raiser for great works I'll be voicing Blur:Parklife + Manfred Mann doo wah!'

Amy's former partner Reg Traviss, who she was dating at the time of her death, and her doting father Mitch Winehouse were also in attendance at the commemorative event.

Close: Mitch told his Twitter followers he felt as though his daughter was by his side throughout the evening

And it would seem that Dionne isn't the only one who can still feel Amy's presence, with Mitch explaining he felt as though his daughter was by his side throughout the evening.

Writing on his Twitter page, he said: 'Thank you for your lovely messages. We were at Gilgamesh for Amys birthday party. I felt she was next to me all night. Happy birthday baby.

'Thanks again for lovely messages. You guys make Amys loss more bearable.'

She became the shock exit on The X Factor on Sunday night, after initially being labelled as the favourite to win this year's show.

But teenager Ella Henderson has managed to remain dignified since departing the series.

And she's already getting used to her new found showbiz lifestyle, despite no longer being part of the programme.

Standing proud: X Factor's Ella Henderson has wasted no time in throwing herself into the showbiz scene following her shock axe from the show two days ago

On Tuesday night the 16-year-old mingled with a host of stars as she was invited to the Amy Winehouse Foundation Ball, even rubbing shoulders with James Arthur, the man who was saved instead of her on Sunday night's X Factor.

But she seems to have accepted the shock as she looked perfectly happy and content as she posed up on the pink carpet.

She wore a cute navy velvet dress with belt detailing, tights and boots, while her hair was worn up in her staple bouffant half up 'do.

Ella posed with her hand on her hip as she composed herself for the attention she would no doubt be receiving.

And James Arthur was also among the guests in honour of the late Back To Black singer.

He wore a a suit jacket with skinny jeans and a thin tie as he turned out at the bash at London's Dorchester Hotel.

Among the other stars were firmer Made In Chelsea star Kimberley Garner, who ignored the predominant black tie theme by standing out in a bright coral frock.

The floorlength gown did, of course, show off her back while she bared even more flesh with the very high side-split.

Catalina Guirado also went for bright as she wore a similar pink gown to the bash.

Following the theme: Most of the guests, such as singers Paloma Faith and Mica Paris, also opted for classic evening dress

Fooling around: Mitch Winehouse was on fine form as he mucked about with The Voice's Tyler James in front of the cameras

Although the majority of the guests kept to dark evening dress.

Winehouse's Goddaughter Dionne Bromfield looked grown up in her floorlength black number with side split and red shoes, while Mica Paris also went for an all black ensemble.
