A 17-foot dinosaur was roaming around a Preston shopping centre on Saturday.

Families visited the T-Rex and the baby dinosaurs as they roamed walkways and wowed spectators.

It’s one of a number of events taking place during the summer holidays at St George’s Shopping Centre.

Andrew Stringer, general manager at St George’s Shopping Centre, said: “We know keeping the kids entertained over the school holidays can be expensive, so we created an action-packed line up of events to keep the youngsters happy.

“The dinosaurs were one of our key events and the turnout was brilliant, they proved to be a huge hit with Preston families.”

The next free summer event is entertainer Tricky returning on Saturday 26 August from 1pm with a show of comedy, fun and magic.
