PUPILS at Wellfield Primary School, Burnley, received a special gift to commemorate the new millennium.

Each of the 221 pupils was presented with a mug, featuring the school emblem on one side and a millennium message on the other, by chairman of the PTFA Iain Slater.

The mugs were paid for with cash collected through fund-raising activities during the last 12 months. A portion also went towards paying for millennium tea towels and calendars before Christmas.

Danielle Longstaff, 11, and Dean Longden, 10, showed off the new mugs for our photographer.
