What a wonderful old chap. Heard about him on the Michael Ball show this morning. The total figure then stood at nearly £250,000.

Well done bobbi. I'm certainly not going to take it off.

Togo put a link on on Sunday Bobbi but no harm for it to be repeated. It's absolutely amazing how quickly this has grown from £250,000 on Sunday to almost £12 million now.

Thanks Boaty, I think under the circumstances a sticky would be quite appropriate from the Ed in these unusual unprecedented times ?

[Bobbisox1]

Didn’t see that Margo, thanks x

[waterboatman]

Ask the ed on his thread bobbi.

There is also Gift Aid from HMRC to go on top of some of the donations.

It currently shows, £12,162,436.31
+ £2,244,747.18 Gift Aid

Just now on the news - over £20,000,000, absolutely fantastic.

[THECORBYLOON]

Not quite, it's just over twelve million from public donations.

[dannyk13]

Corby, that's the total raised according to Global News at 8am.

[THECORBYLOON]

I'm going in the figures from the Just Giving page. It's currently showing

£12,189,629.74 + £2,244,834.12 Gift Aid

[dannyk13]

Corby, I'll listen out for the next news bulletin.
