EXCITED youngsters enjoyed a trip to a pantomime, organised by residents of Roman Road Estate in Blackburn.

The group travelled to Preston Charter Theatre to see Goldilocks and Three Amazing Bears. A fancy dress competition was held as they set off.

Father Brian Kealey of Our Lady's Church, Blackburn, who helped co-ordinate the trip, said: "This is a very clear demonstration of how alive and positive our community is.

"This trip was organised by the people of the Higher Croft area so that they can celebrate together."
