A bus company has celebrated its employees' decades of service at a special awards night.
Transdev, which operates The Blackburn Bus Company, Rosso, and The Burnley Bus Company, honoured its long-serving staff members at the Celebration of Service event.
The event recognised the dedication of staff members who have helped thousands of people travel across Lancashire and beyond.
The event also celebrated the 35-year service of the head of operations, Alan Isherwood.
The awards night, attended by family, friends, and colleagues, was held at a dinner in Leeds.
A total of 990 years of service from 31 Transdev staff members was recognised at the event, 11 of whom hailed from East Lancashire.

"It is the type of event that makes us proud and humble at the same time.
"We are all of us a sum of our experiences and stories.
"Thanks to all our colleagues for being part of these and for bringing such enrichment every day to our company."
