The final total will be higher, as donations are still being finalised after the recent event at the Oxgangs centre.

“It was an amazing night, with a big turn-out said Lisa (37), whose previous fundraisers in memory of her father Ian have raised comparable amounts - for example last year a comedy hypnotist night raised more than £1,000.

Ian died of liver cancer, and amid the grief at his passing there was gratitude for the care he received from Marie Curie nurses.

She said: “Many thanks to everyone who helped - the cost of an overnight visit by a Marie Curie nurse is £180, but the difference that makes to someone suffering from a terrible illness is incalculable”.
