Corfe Castle turned purple last night to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer.
The Norman castle is one of hundreds of UK landmarks to be illuminated for the last weekend of November in support of Purple Lights for Pancreatic Cancer.
Purbeck resident Lynn Nelson asked the National Trust to take part in the campaign after losing her pilot husband Stephen to the disease when he was 58-years-old.
Since then, Lynn, 57, has campaigned to support efforts to tackle what she calls the ‘forgotten cancer’.
She said: “Purple Lights UK asked people to help light up an iconic landmark in their area and I thought, well, what would be better than Corfe Castle?”
The castle will be lit up again at 5pm tonight and on Sunday, November 27.
Businesses in Bournemouth and Poole have also been lit up in purple to raise awareness.
