A DARFIELD man is getting a big bra-vo from people in the village after lending his support to charity by collecting almost 2,000 bras.

John Taylor, 75, of Tempest Avenue, has been collecting the bras as part of Yorkshire Air Ambulance's recycling campaign.

John said: "The air ambulance came to speak at a Redfearn's retirement meeting four years ago. As an afterthought they said they were collecting women's bras and could get £3 per bra.

"Me and my wife, Lilian, mentioned it to a friend at a Darfield hairdresser's and word got around. Then they started coming to the house by the sackload."
