MORE than 500 people have helped Light the Night to help raise funds for St Giles Hospice.

Families, friends, charity staff and supporters donned their purple t-shirts and illuminated the evening as they walked an 8km route from Lichfield Sports Club, through Beacon Park – which featured an illuminated light tunnel – past Lichfield Cathedral and through the city’s streets.

A live band, a warm up, musicians and volunteers cheered on the hundreds of participants along the route. 

Organisers said the turnout exceeded expectations, hailing the event as a "memorable evening".
