A MASSIVE £3,000 was raised for Help for Heroes at a gentleman’s evening organised by the Warrington Freemasons.

Among the sporting memorabilia auctioned on the night was a signed boxing glove worn by Mike Tyson and a framed set of signed photographs of former British heavyweight boxing champion Henry Cooper.

The star sporting guest of the night was Warrington-born footballer Steve Kindon.

At the start of the evening in Warrington Masonic Hall the sell-out audience heard from former soldier and Warrington Freemason Lt Col Les Taylor Duff who told of the important work being undertaken for members of our Armed Forces when they return home injured and for the families of those who have laid down their lives for their country.
