LAWYERS decked the office with boughs of holly and bust out the carols to raise charity cash.

Plymouth Junior Lawyers Division from Bond Pearce and Bright solicitors took their carolling on the road in aid of the Shekinah Mission.

Dressed in Christmas hats, they travelled around Plymouth lawyers' offices to spread festive cheer and yuletide tunes.

The group raised hundreds of pounds, which will go towards the cost of cooking Christmas dinner for homeless people at the city centre mission.

Chief caroller Tom Edwards of Bond Pearce said: "The Junior Lawyers Division works throughout the year to support those in need in the community, including regular soup runs.

"The festive fundraiser was another way of helping local charities. It was so successful we had to dodge envelopes of cash being hurled out of office windows from supporters."
