A thanksgiving service for a revered north Norfolk hotelier raised more than �3,500 for an African charity.

About 1,200 people from across the world attended a thanksgiving service for the 55-year-old on July 16.

It was a charity close to Mr Whittome's heart as his wife Jeanne Whittome was born in South Africa.
