LANDLADY of The Hop Poles, Alton, Mandy Mackrell (third right), daughters Chloe (left) and Charley (right) with bar staff get into the spirit of Red Nose Day with a £457.77 cheque for Comic Relief.

Staff and customers supported the pub's five doormen as they went round with buckets on Friday and Saturday collecting for the BBC Comic Relief appeal. Mrs Mackrell said: "Everyone was very generous and we are grateful for their help in raising money for the charity."
