From Jilli, who co-ordinated the day:

"A huge thank you to all who took part on Saturday, either holding a tin or as the "collector support group", entertaining us and the shoppers. Also, I'd like to thank our colleagues in Amnesty HQ for all their help, and those who wanted to come along but were struck down at the last minute by ill health or family tragedy, but were with us in thought and spirit.

CONGRATULATIONS to you all! We beat last year's amount and collected the grand sum of £653.85 for Amnesty International."
