"Last year I managed to raise over £300 and I'd like to help again.

"I’m asking for donations to help me do this, we are needing teddies to hand out to children free of charge to hold high for George whilst the convoy comes past.

"Anything Paw Patrol, buckets and spades, donation buckets, unwanted unused balloons, letter banners and (decorating tables ) and any musical instruments that can be used by children are needed.

The vehicles were decorated with Paw Patrol characters which were George's favourite, some had soft toys and stickers, other's simply 'RIP George' in green letters.

A charity night was held at Lancaster Grand theatre earlier this year to raise money for George Hinds memorial garden.
