Military walkers take to the streets with David Foulkes (back, centre) to raise money for the Poppy Appeal.
United Services Club raffles while the Royal British Legion boosted funds with a "legion in the community" event.
CHARITY champion David Foulkes has raised more than £1,200 for the Poppy Appeal by battling miserable weather to complete a sponsored walk through Hunstanton.
The well-known fundraiser dressed in the full uniform of a First World War soldier for the walk through the town with stops for collections.
Mr Foulkes joined a team of walkers dressed in a variety of military uniforms from different periods, some of which were supplied by Lynn's Hooper's store, to help raise a total of £1,209.
He said: "It started to rain as the walk began and it did not stop. The people of Hunstanton who were there on the day were very generous and I thank them for their support."
The total included £200 from two United Services Club raffles while the Royal British Legion boosted funds with a "legion in the community" event.
