STARS old and new came out as Accrington Carnival provided a shining start to the summer on Saturday.
Coronation Street favourites Jenny McAlpine (Fiz) and Ryan Thomas (Jason) got a lot of attention from carnival goers.
But carnival queen Romi-Jane Young and carnival princess Megan Monk took centre stage for the Hyndburn spectacular.
Ray Pullinger, of organisers Accrington Lions, said: "It was a very successful day and we were more fortunate with the weather than other parts of the country."
Organisers are confident that the event, which featured the traditional floats parade and entertainments at Peel Park Primary School, will have raised significant sums for local charities and good causes.
