Tea lovers are being given the chance to enjoy a cuppa while raising vital funds for a charity.

Those who like a brew up are encouraged to support Marie Curie Cancer Care by holding a tea party - and John Lewis in Glasgow got the ball rolling with its own event.

The retail giant announced its support for the cancer charity's Blooming Great Tea Party, when it held an event in its Glasgow store's restaurant.

Customers paid £1 for cupcakes with the money going towards the foundation.

They were also asked to hold their own tea party from June 12 to July 12, to raise funds for the charity.

For every cup of tea bought on the day, the store also donated the proceeds to the cancer fight cause.
