Their upper lips may now be feeling the chill December winds, but men at Elstree Cancer Centre managed to raise £5,000 for charity by growing moustaches last month.

The team of 22 patients, staff and doctors from the Centennial Way centre finished tallying up the amount raised this morning.

The group, who grew their moustaches in support of the national Movember campaign to raise awareness about prostate cancer, attended a shave-off event on Saturday.
