A cheque was also presented to course leader Jamie Ward to go towards the department.

Cllr Dickson said: “Matt was surprised, but I think he was very pleased.”

The bench was unveiled in Kenilworth Castle in July, and replaces the much older bench which was unsafe and drab.

It serves as a memorial for Kenilworth mayors who have passed away.
