A FESTIVE lights display spectacular has raised more than £500 for charity.
Raymond and Margaret Lauder decorate their home and garden in Willington with lights every Christmas to raise money for charity.
This year, they chose to support the Butterwick Hospice in Bishop Auckland and were delighted with the response they received.
Mr Lauder said: "I am just so grateful for what the people have done.''
The couple presented a cheque for £520 to the hospice.
Mr Lauder said: "I am very pleased that we have done something for a good cause and that I have been able to see where all the money is going. I would like to thank everyone from Willington and those who travelled from out of town for their donations and I would also like to thank Tommy Woodward for providing the scaffolding and the hospice for doing all the paperwork.
