Terry James RIP, joint host of the Watch Elm Close charity Christmas lights
Community in shock as organiser of charity Christmas lights passes away HUNDREDS of people from across the Stokes and further afield have expressed shock and sadness at the news that Terry James, joint host of the famous Watch Elm Close charity Christmas lights, has died. Together with partner Mike Checkley, Terry had helped raise thousands of pounds for charities, most recently St Peter’s Hospice, through collections made at their extravagant Christmas lights displays. Announcing Terry’s passing on the Watch Elm Close Christmas Lights page on Facebook, Mike wrote: “It is with sadness and joy that I share with you that my loving partner of 42 years died at 7pm on Tuesday 12th March
2019 very peacefully at home in his own bed where he wanted to be. He is now at peace. We will no longer be doing the Christmas lights but there is a new shining star in the sky. Thank you for your support for last year – we still can’t believe we raised £11,200. God bless you all.” Well-wishers have left hundreds of comments of sympathy and support on the post, many of which mention the warm welcome they received when visiting the lights last year. An online charity donation page has been set up in memory of Terry, collecting once again for St Peter’s Hospice. The address is uk.virginmoneygiving.com/ TerryJames
