The moving moment saw dozens of people sporting white T-shirts emblazoned with yellow hearts and the slogan 'let's keep the sun shining' in memory of Danielle Harker who died of bowel cancer aged just 33 earlier this month.
The successful fun day raised the grand total of £4,814 which takes the amount raised for Danielle's family to well over £22,000 thanks to a series of fund raising events, challenges and raffles organised by family and friends.
The fun day, held at St Andrew's Club in Burnley, included a raffle, tombola, children's singer, pony and trap rides, a visit from a fire engine and Disney characters.
