They also have staff members Sean McBride and Daniel Cooke complete the Adidas Manchester Marathon, a 26-mile run, that raised more than £2,000 for Alzheimer's charities.

READ MORE: Business owner hits out at silence over Celtic title party Fergus Adams, managing director at Dougall Baillie Associates, said: "We feel very proud of our great team at Dougall Baillie Associates, who work very hard and very professionally in their day jobs, but still find time to raise much-needed cash for those less fortunate than themselves. "The quiz night marked our 40th year of operations in a highly competitive field and we were delighted that so many of our colleagues, friends, customers and suppliers supported us in raising this splendid sum for the Beatson. "Congratulations to Sean and Daniel, who trained hard for what must be one of the toughest challenges in sport, and did themselves and DBA proud. "These achievements will inspire the whole team to continue their fundraising efforts." DBA workers last year raised a similar sum for charity last year, with a series of events such as walking, running, and cycling.

As the day progresses, runners and spectators should see temperatures begin to climb to highs of 19C at 3pm, the Met Office reports. Throughout the day Manchester is expected to see clear conditions, with the chances of rain rising no higher than 10 per cent. For North West England, on Sunday, the Met Office has forecast: "Mainly settled, though still rather cloudy with a few spots of rain in the north. Light winds inland, but breezy along the coast. "Feeling warm in the sunshine further south. Maximum temperature 19 °C." Into next week the forecast reads: "Fine, dry and very warm across the majority of the UK at the start of this period with long clear or sunny spells. However, it is expected to be cloudier in the far north with some rain at times. "Some of this rain will likely spread southwards late next week before clearing to leave a mainly dry and sunny weekend, although with temperatures closer to normal than on preceding days."
