An online fundraiser in memory of a well-known Island man who lost his life last month has blasted past its target in just two days.
Michael Andrew Thorne, known as "Birdie", died last Monday at the age of 54.
Now friends and well-wishers are rallying round to raise £5,000 for his funeral expenses - saying any leftover money will be given to Craig's Heart Strong Foundation.
