A Christmas lights display which has raised thousands of pounds for a children's hospice will not be held this year due to negative feedback and Covid-19, the organiser said.
Graham Witter, from Weston, near Crewe, Cheshire, said he has raised more than £150,000 since 2013 for the Donna Louise Children’s Hospice in memory of his sister, Jessica.
However he said the 2021 event would not take place due to rising Covid-19 infection rates, the increased workload and negative feedback from visitors to 2020's display.
But Mr Witter said it would not be the end of the displays.
"My intention right now is to come back in 2022 with another light display and I just hope that people will come back out in their thousands to support me again," he said.
