David Foulks (65), of Crescent Road, has raised £25,000 for charity over the past 25 years with £10,000 going to the Royal British Legion alone.

The latest cause to benefit from Mr Foulks's dedication will be the Lynn News Hunstanton Lifeboat Appeal.
Mr Foulks will dress up as scruffy Compo from BBC1 sitcom Last of the Summer Wine for a fundraising walk through the town on Easter Sunday, April 8.

The walk will begin at Tina's Snack Bar – which will be decorated to resemble Sid's Café from the award-winning show for the day.
The group of hardy and high-spirited walkers will walk around the town visiting pubs and restaurants rattling buckets for the RNLI appeal.

Mr Foulks said: "We will all be dressed up in the proper costumes and will be rattling our buckets for as long as it takes.

"It is a really good cause and I am glad to be raising money for it. Hopefully we will be able to make a big difference."
Mr Foulks has already raised hundreds of pounds for charity this year with a sponsored 45-mile cycle ride from Hunstanton to Norwich, dressed in 1940s gear, and riding a war-time bicycle.

He arrived in time to bear the standard for the Hunstanton branch of the RBL at an annual meeting in January.

Mr Foulks' next mission will be to dress as Albert Steptoe and sit in a bathtub in Hunstanton town centre on Saturday, May 19, to raise cash for the RBL Poppy Appeal.

He said several people have remarked that he bears an uncanny resemblance to the TV character. "It was a great success last year and so I wanted to do it again."

Anyone wanting to sponsor Mr Foulks in his latest quest can call him on 07881 575780 or visit the town on the day to give in person.
