Shoreham funeral director raises charity funds at Blind Veterans Christmas fête
Caring Lady Funereal Directors in High Street, Shoreham, had a stall at the fête selling cookies for Father Christmas, sweets in jars and boxes, homemade flapjacks and fairy cakes.
There was also a Guess the Bear’s Name competition, which was won by Rachel Chitty, a fundraiser from Blind Veterans.

Clare Taylor, funeral co-ordinator, said: “It was a wonderful selfless gesture. His face was just ecstatic. He was a lovely young man.
“My daughter was rather sad to see it go but she agreed it was going to a good home.”
