NORTH Yorkshire churchgoers donned their Sunday best with a difference this weekend.
Worshippers at St Wilfrid’s Church in Brayton, Selby, donned bobble hats of various designs as they took part in Age UK’s Bobble Day.
They wanted to raise awareness of the problems elderly people face keeping warm and the work the charity does to help them.
It is estimated as many as 25,000 pensioners could be at risk of dying from the cold in this country this winter.
The Rev Pete Watson was more than happy with his congregation’s unusual Sunday dress code.
Apart from promoting the cause of helping elderly people cope with the cold, the congregation also took part in fundraising at the service.
It is not the first time St Wilfrid’s has seen unusual clothes worn at church. Last year, Mr Watson led a service in pyjamas to raise money for Children In Need.
