Three Morecambe High School girls have gone potty over snooker star Stephen Hendry. They spent two months writing one hundred thousand and one 'pleases' on a lengthy love letter to their hero. And the method behind their madness paid off when the Scottish player agreed to meet them in honour of their wrist-aching exploits. The meeting took place in Preston, where 19-year-old Stephen is appearing in the qualifying rounds of snooker's world championships. Andrea Turner, Sharon Hardman and Haley Roberts are pictured with their idol Photo: Archive

Thatch is back and proving a winner on an enterprising Lancashire project. And Fairclough Homes believe they may be the only ones in the country doing it. When they started it was Fairclough's intention to use thatch on only five of the houses at The Hermitage, Rowlands Lane, Cleveleys, but they have stepped it up to seven. Pictured are representatives of Fairclough Homes in front of one of the houses Photo: Archive
