Portsmouth nightclub raises cash for emergency services after fire
Last week, crews from across Portsmouth were called to The Astoria, on Guildhall Walk, after a fire started in the roof space.
To repay the crews for their hard work, owners of The Astoria asked its customers to donate to the Fire Fighters Charity and a similar organisation that assists police officers and their families affected in their duty of work.
