A grateful husband has covered his home in thousands of glowing lights to see in the festive season and raise money for Broomfield Hospital's dialysis department.

Paul Bibby, 50, and his son Aaron, 28, have spent hours stringing up the fairy lights which cover their home.

Sharon Bibby, 50, is forced to undergo dialysis at Broomfield Hospital three times a week due to suffering kidney failure related to other health conditions.

Mr Bibby said: "My wife is very ill as her kidneys have stopped working properly and only function at about two per cent.

"The dialysis is keeping her alive really.

"But the nurses at Broomfield are wonderful and What they do is very good.

"I've done the Christmas lights for a while, I normally do them for Mencap but decided we wanted to help the dialysis department this year.

"Everyone at Broomfiele does a very good job and they are all very supportive."
