Festive ribbons to remember loved ones
Gary Kirby, manager of Tithe Barn, in Church Street, asked customers to donate and place a ribbon on the pub’s Christmas tree in aid of CancerCare.
He said: "Apart from the lights, we didn't decorate the tree, we were waiting to see what happened with this idea. The team are totally overwhelmed by the response. It's the best Christmas gift for CancerCare and the local families they support."

The fund-raiser will be ongoing until New Year’s Day.
