Blackpool man's thanks after his festive display raised vital funds for Cancer Research UK
Michael Smith, 37, of Warbreck Drive, North Shore, raised £320 for the charity after passers-by put money in a collection post box in his garden.
Michael said: "I'd just like to say thanks for all the help I received, I really appreciate it.
"The money has now gone into the Cancer Research account.

His illuminated display featured 14 large items, including a 7ft teddy bear sent over from Japan, a drummer and Colonel in scarlet, green and gold uniforms, all the way from America and a reindeer from Germany.
Residents said the display cheered them up when they went past Michael's house.
His next display will be a ghoulish spectacular for Hallow'een in October.
