A PERFORMANCE from Peter Allen entitled "For the love and laughter of it" had the Down's Syndrome Association laughing all the way to the bank.

The event in Christ Church, Colne was held earlier this year by Mr Allen in aid of the chosen charity of former Canon John Priestley who died at the end of last year in a walking accident.

The event raised £2605 and at the presentation are, front, Andrew, Ben, five, and Megan, seven, Canon Priestley, and, back from the left, Eric Nicholas, Down's Syndrome Association regional officer, Margaret and Charlotte Priestley and entertainer Peter Allen.
