Campaigners marched from the Corn Exchange to the Flag Market on Saturday to celebrate the city’s grade-II listed Bus Station.

Bernie Blackburn was down there to snap a few photos as more than 150 people turned out to support the building.

They are calling on Preston City Council to refurbish the building, a call which council leader Peter Rankin appears to now be supporting.

On display at the march was a model of the bus station by arts group Gate 81 aiming to show the beauty of the building.
