CHILDREN and parents at a Blackburn special school took part in an annual sports day.

The event, at Dame Evelyn Fox School in Roman Road, was a great success and included a pram race, tyre rolling, which fascinated seven-year-old Elliot McIntyre (pictured) and his mum, and bean bag throwing.

Val Cotton, who organised the sports day, said: "Thankfully the weather held out and we had a smashing day. Parents, children and staff got involved and everyone wore house colours making the whole thing an eye-catching occasion."
