A seaside carnival raised a record amount for charity - even though the sun did not shine. The collectors at Morecambe Carnival, mingling with the crowds, reaped a grand total of £1,600. The event started with a parade of 80 decorated floats and vehicles winding its way through the hundreds of onlookers from Sandylands Parade to the Lancaster Road school field, and included these ladies from Preedy and Sons, making friends with the Dulux dog

It's good to be back! That was the message from these Lancashire children who were 'evacuated' to another school while emergency repairs were carried out on their own classrooms. The 200 pupils left Clifton County School in Clitheroe Road, Lytham when cracks started appearing in the walls. Temporary accommodation was found nearby in Sydney Street, but they are back after an extended Easter break
