A COUPLE who light up their home each Christmas brought festive cheer to the homeless this week.

Each year Pete Bonney and his wife Carol set up an impressive display of festive lights outside their home in Nuffield Road, Wood Farm.

And since the lights went up in November, they have called on visitors to donate blankets and food for rough sleepers.

The couple delivered a trailer of goodies to the hostel at Lucy Faithfull House in Speedwell Street on Wednesday.

Mr Bonney said: “People have been really generous this year, they’ve done me proud.”
