BUDDING amateur photographers have been in touch with some of their best images of 'Hidden Gems in Lancashire'.

Last week, we appealed on social media for our readers and photographers to send in their shots of East Lancashire and images that make us proud of living in the county.

Among the photographs include shots of landmarks, beautiful scenes and also some pets take pride of place in the images.

Here are a selection of them and the rest will be appearing on an online gallery on our website.

We will be picking our personal favourite and it will appear on the letters page of the paper with some details.

Check out @LancashireTelegraph on Facebook to keep up to date with our pictures.

If you have any other images you want to see featured online then email robert.kelly@nqnw.co.uk.
