Brian Moon, former chairman of the North East Fruit and Vegetable Market on Tyneside, and Tommy Young, a retired retailer from the area, have raised £1,000 for local hospices through the sale of DVDs to mark 40 years of trading in Gateshead, and also what went before in Newcastle. Moon, Young and their wives raised £910 from sales, which was rounded up to £1,000 by the market.
