Pizza loving dinosaur spotted roaming streets of Burnley and Padiham brings some much needed fun and laughter

And his unexpected appearance certainly proved that while he may be extinct the chance to have a laugh and bring some fun to communities facing a second week of lockdown certainly isn't.

The friendly T Rex was spotted shopping in Padiham's Tesco at the weekend and eagle eyed student Rick Cunliffe managed to catch him on camera in the car park.

Rick, who is a speech and language therapy student at Leeds Beckett University said: "I have no idea who it is but he did tell me a joke before he went back to his car."

And, of course, the joke was: What do you call a blind dinosaur?

Doyathinkhesaurus!

Then the fierce but friendly dino went for pizza at PK's in Padiham and was later seen again wandering around the Sycamore Avenue area of Burnley.

A message from the Editorial Director, Gillian Parkinson:

Thank you for reading this story on our website. But I also have an urgent plea to make of you.

In order for us to continue to provide high quality local news on this free-to-read site and in print, please purchase a copy of our newspaper as well.

With the coronavirus lockdown having a major impact on our town centres and many of our valued advertisers - and consequently the advertising that we receive - we are more reliant than ever on you buying a copy when you pop out for your essential shop or subscribing for delivery.

Our journalists are highly trained by the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) and our content is independently regulated by IPSO to some of the most rigorous standards anywhere in the world. Our content is universally trusted - as all independent research proves.

As Baroness Barran said in a House of Lords debate this week on the importance of journalists: "Not only are they a trusted source of facts, but they will have a role to play in rallying communities and getting the message across about how we can keep ourselves and our families safe, and protect our NHS. Undoubtedly, they have a critical role."

But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis. In return we will continue to forensically cover the local news - not only the impact of the virus but all the positive and uplifting news happening in these dark days.

We thank all our readers and advertisers for their understanding and support - and we wish YOU all the best in the coming weeks. Keep safe, and follow the Government advice.

Thank you.
