Staff at Suffolk seedsman Mr Fothergill's entered into the Christmas spirit on Friday by each paying a fee of £2 for the privilege of wearing a Christmas-themed jumper to work.

The national Christmas Jumper Day initiative was set up by the Save the Children charity.

The event at Mr Fothergill's was organised by Ben Roden, who commented that the company's directors appeared to have the largest range of 'tasteful' knitwear. 

The final total raised by Mr Fothergill's staff will not be known until the proceeds of a raffle are included and counted.
