Three charities will benefit from the appeal: Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and War Child, which carry out frontline medical aid work in war zones, and Parallel Histories, which helps schools teach contested histories such as those of Northern Ireland, Israel and Palestine.

The total stood at £1,262,000 at midday yesterday, with more than 11,200 readers donating to the appeal. It is the 10th year in a row the annual appeal has raised more than £1m.
