A Crystal Palace man organised a charity raffle to raise money for children with cancer because his baby niece has the disease.

Sean Murphy organised the event in The Cambridge Pub in Westow Hill on Saturday, thanks to the support of pub landlord and friend Geoff Turner.

Mr Murphy said he wanted to put on the event to give something back to the Royal London Hospital, where his 20-month-old niece, Jordan, is a patient.

Mr Turner said: "The raffle was a great success and we raised £2,000."
