THE fundraising drive to save York Minster's Great East Window has been boosted by a £1,000 donation.

Members of the Minster Old Choristers' Association made the donation to the £23 million appeal at their annual reunion.

The group's chairman, Michael Backhouse, presented the cash to the Dean, the Very Reverend Keith Jones.

The money will help fund the Minster in its efforts to restore the cathedral's crumbling East Front and renovate hundreds of priceless glass window panels dating back to the early 15th century.
