Elmer's Big Parade: Auction raises £300k
Funding for more than 300 hospice patients has been raised from the sale of elephant statues.
The elephants - painted by local artists, and based on the Elmer books by David McKee - had been dotted around Plymouth for 10 weeks.
The Elmer's Big Parade sculptures raised £323,750 for St Luke's Hospice, a charity which provides end-of-life care.
Plymouth-based artist Brian Pollards's elephant raised the most at £36,000.
The funding will go towards treating people in their own homes.
