A coastal town has received a £41m donation from a woman who was involved in the success of Fisherman's Friend cough sweets.
Businesswoman Doreen Lofthouse, who died in March aged 91, has left her fortune to a charity that aims to develop her Fleetwood hometown.
Since the 1990s, Mrs Lofthouse and her family have given millions of pounds to community projects in Lancashire.

A total of £41.4m was bequeathed to the Lofthouse Foundation, which was set up by Mrs Lofthouse and her family in 1994 to revitalise the town.
