Preston didn’t let the rain dampen spirits for the annual Easter Egg rolling.

As well as the hourly organised egg rolls there were food stalls and family-entertainment throughout Avenham and Miller Park. You can see our Live video stream on Facebook from the 12-noon egg roll.

See if you were spotted doing the egg roll as photographers Michael Porter, Gerard Hopkinson and Lesley Wilkinson from the Preston Photographic Society were snapping away.
