SQUEALS of delight and screams of terror filled Preston's Flag Market on Monday.

Hundreds of thrill-seekers flocked to the Whit Fair for a Bank Holiday treat, sampling the new white-knuckle rides on offer.

Of course there was the usual array of traditional attractions - including the dodgems and plenty of stalls - there was also a selection of exciting rides to get stomachs churning and hearts fluttering.

Organisers were grateful that the rain stayed away, and there were even a few rays of sunshine to brighten up the day.

Youngsters who preferred to give the fast and frightening rides a miss enjoyed typical fun fair fodder - candyfloss, sweets and hot dogs - while being amused by fairground entertainers, rides and competitions.
