A pensioner who is bonkers for conkers claims to have largest collection of them in UK - boasting a collection of more than 10,000 nuts.
He claims that his collection takes him back to when he "was a child" and used to play the traditional children's game with the seeds from a chestnut tree.
Due to his love of the game, Brian Mountford, 76, has started hoarding the seeds and now hopes to send some over to war-torn Ukraine as he describes trees as a "sign of life".
