YOUNG women from youth groups throughout Lancashire took to the billboards in a poster campaign to mark today's International Women's Day.

They plastered billboard sites in Burnley, Colne and Rawtenstall with their own designs - all with the theme: "Who is she? She is me, She is you".

It is all a celebration of the women's art in public venues.

In Burnley a billboard created by girls from Padiham Youth Centre went on display in Standish Street while Byron Road was the venue for the Colne poster.

In Rawtenstall the billboard site is Asda, Bury Road.
