BLACKBURN'S Lions Gala was a roaring success when more than 10,000 people people flocked to Witton Park.

The day was described as "the best they had ever had" raising £5,000 for charity.

The money hoped to go toward a child cardiac centre and CCTV cameras at Blackburn Health centre.

Morris dancers, Longridge brass band and a display by Darwen Olympic gymnast club entertained on the day.
