Thank you so much to every single one of you who donated to give this wonderful man a 'right royal send off'. I think it safe to say that we all did him proud. Once we have paid for everything including a memorial plaque. We will be donating the remainder of the money to our chosen charities. We don't have the final donation figure as yet but I will keep you posted.

Two days to go we've had 223 donations and raised £6,550. This is an amazing achievement on any level but more than that it is a demonstration of love for a man who we will all miss for a very very long time. Thank you to every single one of you.

PLEASE READ THIS........... Hi everyone Can everyone please check their bank statements. It appears that justgiving may have taken out more than one payment. I've had an extra donation taken out but it was refunded they following day. I have also been contacted by someone else who made a donation who has had a few amounts taken out of their account.

The money keeps rolling in....well a bit more of a trickle now. With 12 days to go if you haven't donated please consider. We are giving all of the extra money to a wonderful cause including a men's mental health charity if you have any spare cash please please let's get this up to £7000
