USED to polishing people's souls, a vicar has raised cash for charity by polishing their shoes.
Reverend Toddy Hoare set up his shoe-shining stall in Thirsk Market Place, North Yorkshire, yesterday.
The Hillside Parishes vicar was collecting money for Christian Aid with his annual shoe shine and raised more than £100.
He said: "I started doing this 25 years ago, and it always seems to go well and we raise about £100. Unfortunately, the weather was against me this year, but I was still getting punters and we have a laugh."
The event coincided with Christian Aid week, which runs until Saturday.
