Traders at Leicester Market donated scores of items as part of a fund-raising day for a young persons' cancer charity.
Stall-holders offered raffle prizes for an event at the market on Saturday to raise cash for the Harley Staples Cancer Trust – set up by Harley's parents, Katherine and Jamie, following his death in 2009.
Weekend shoppers bought tickets for donated prizes such as toys, flowers and homewares, while youngsters had their faces painted and watched dancers from KT Performing Arts, which is based in Hinckley Road.
Swing singer Craig Radford was also there to entertain the crowds with some crooning classics.
Senior market officer Rob Manley, who organised the event, said: "Everyone has given their time for free and we're all determined to raise as much as we can."
Rob and the traders pledged to raise at least £1,000 through the event.
Rob said: "All the traders have been really great and donated items which we can raffle off.
"But the main prizes are the Tigers shirt and Riders basketball – they've both been signed – in fact, we waited for some of the Tigers players to get back from England duty so we have their signatures on the shirt."
Harley died from a rare form of leukaemia in November, 2009, after being diagnosed at the beginning of the year.
Katherine and Jamie are hoping to raise enough money through his charity to build Harley's House – a holiday home in Leicestershire, to give young cancer sufferers time away from hospitals and treatment.
