It is just over a month to go until people across the world are raising a cup of tea and a slice of cake to ending cancer.

The World's Biggest Coffee Morning will take place nationally on September 28, but people, business and charities are holding public events throughout August and September.

All money raised will go towards Macmillan Cancer Support.
