Two good causes have been given a boost after an online auction of our colour butterflies which brightened the streets of Newmarket during the summer raised £1071.50.

The silent auction saw all 16 butterflies fly away to new homes, some of them raising £100.

They have gone to variety of new homes, including local businesses and one to the town council to put in the Memorial Gardens.

The money will be shared between the Newmarket Charitable Foundation, which helps fund many local good causes, and the Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group to be used in research in the name of four-year-old George Ratcliffe, from Isleham, who bravely went through months of treatment in his battle against a rare form of cancer.
