Sir, Through your column please could we thank everyone who came along to the sixth Annual Alec Lucas Memorial Football Tournament and Family Fun Day in Whitestone Park on May 31.

Thanks to the generosity and support from everyone, we managed to smash our £100,000 total!

A special thanks to our sponsors and helpers on the day.

Could we also thank everyone who came along to our function at the Barony Castle Hotel in the evening and thank the Barony for their hospitality.

This will massively help local youth football and the Royal Marines charities that we support through our charity in memory of Alec.

We could not do it without you all and finally next year’s tournament will be held in Whitestone Park on Saturday, May 30.

We are, etc.

The Alec Lucas Memorial Committee
