Leftover Christmas food, soups and sandwiches from a postponed Premier League football match have been donated to charities and social action groups.
Watford Football Club offered the food after its game with Crystal Palace was called off due to a Covid-19 outbreak in the squad.
It called the Hertfordshire town’s elected Liberal Democrat mayor, Peter Taylor, to see where it could be sent.
“I was only too happy to help, it meant we were able to act quickly”, he said.
“It’s typical of the club as they’re very community-minded and they didn’t want the food to go to waste, they just wanted to help local charities”, he added.
Many of the core ingredients for a Christmas dinner were handed out.
