The funds were split between the two charities and presented by Tony Higley, chairman of the Backroom Boys, to Macmillan's Marcia Dart and Jenny Tyrrell from the Hospice last Thursday.

Marcia was pleased with the success of the event. She said: "It is something that appealed to all ages. I was amazed at the age range here on the night.

The audience enthusiasm for the popular performers paid off, with 1,100 going to each charity.
