A CHARITY night at a pub in Helensburgh raised nearly £5,000 for the organisation supporting the armed forces and their families.

The 70s and 80s disco night at the Commodore Hotel saw more than 130 people attend the SSAFA event on August 31, which was opened by Captain Elaine Boyd, captain of HMNB Clyde.
