Schoolchildren draw on their imagination for Burnley Lions peace poster competition

Frank and Jackie Seed with fellow Lion Jacquie Devlin with St John's students, Lucy Phillips, Kayleen Imperial and Mya Thornton.

Organised by Burnley Lions, the Peace Poster competition drew 110 entries which members chose the winners from.

Kindness Matters was the theme for 2018 and seven winners and runners up were chosen.

These were then forwarded to the district Lions competition to compete with entries from across Lancashire.

And for the second year running entries from students at St John the Baptist RC Primary School in Burnley were chosen as first and second. Lucy Phillips came first and Kayleen Imperial second.

Lucy and her family will be invited to the Lions’ District Convention next March to receive the re-engraved trophy on behalf of the school as well as her personal trophy and prize.

Last year fellow St John's pupil Allesandra Dimalaluan won the competition.

The other winners were: Padiham Primary School: Winner: Ruby Hacking (10) runners up: Gorton Reagan (10), and Masireh Whalley (nine).

The winner at each school received a trophy engraved with their name and runners up all received a box of chocolates. Every entrant also received a certificate of participation.
