A book and cake sale held by the family and friends of Tom Clabburn raised more than a thousand pounds for his memorial fund.

More than 150 leaflets promoting CRY’s TestMyHeart tour were also handed out at the event in Ealing, which was organised by Tom’s mum, Claire Prosser.

Among those visiting were BBC journalist Carley Bowman, a CRY supporter who organised a group of friends to take part in last year’s CRY London Bridges Walk.

Her son, Ben, aged two has battled with a serious heart condition since birth but it didn’t stop him enjoying the cakes.
