WINNERS of three St George's Day competitions were presented with their prizes during a street party in Accrington town centre.

Accrington Young People's Library ran three contests to coincide with the celebrations.

A design-a-dragon challenge for paintings and collages was won by Hyndburn Park County Primary reception class. Runner-up was Hippings Methodist School.

The Hyndburn Park entry went on display in Marks and Spencer's window and the runner-up and other entries went on show in the library.
