The fayre raised 685 which organiser Sylvia Perry said was delighted with.

She said: "It's an absolutely amazing result, everyone had a really happy day. I'd like to thank all the helpers, who were all people with MS, and to all the people who contributed to the day."

She added: "Without them the fayre wouldn't have been such a great success."
