A TOUCH of Eastern promise filled this year's Port Isaac Hospice Day.

The event, held at the village hall, also featured a variety of stalls and home-cooked produce which helped to raise more than £1,000.

The event was set up by villagers several years ago to help boost Cornwall Hospice Care.

One of the organisers, Dee Littlechild, said: "It was another lovely, successful day. The sun shone and we raised over £1,000 with money still coming in. Lunches and the Indian takeaway were a huge success. Thanks to everyone who helped or supported in any way. Most of us know someone who has been looked after by the hospice and none of us know what the future holds; none of us know whether we, or a member of our family or a friend, may need the special care and comfort provided by the hospice."
