A heavy metal fan has donated about 600 T-shirts to a charity that provided him with palliative care in the last months of his life.

Duncan Smith died at his home in May after spending time under the care of LOROS hospice in Groby Road, Leicester.

The 61-year-old had amassed an impressive T-shirt collection featuring some of his favourite metal bands.

In a bid to give back to the hospice, he donated the collection to be sold at one of their 30 charity shops.

A regular at metal festival Download, Mr Smith, from Syston, Leicestershire, collected hundreds of T-shirts featuring artists such as Iron Maiden and Metallica.
