Mr Greene has been staging the effort for 17 years, raising £35,000 for Meningitis Research Foundation during this time. This year, the kindhearted resident decided to raise funds for Macmillan.

The effort had been hosted by media personality Stephen Clements in recent years. A special trophy was presented on the night in his memory.
