CHARITY co-ordinator for Rossendale Bike Show Sue Troughton is going to grin and bear it to raise more money.

She is to have a specially designed tattoo to mark the bike show wedding of Pip Baggs and Simon Tille.

The couple are having their wedding at the bike show on September 23 and will say: "I do" in front of 35,000 wellwishers.

Sue said she had two tattoos before for charity and it is a novel -- or could it be navel? -- way of raising money through sponsorship.

The tattoo will be designed by her nephew Sean Carr, a tattooist and designer, of the Millennium Tattoo Shop in Crawshawbooth.

Sue said: "It will be a one-off on the theme of a motor bike, bride and groom." Sue, 46, of Loveclough added: "I have one on my shoulder and one on an arm. The new one could be at the bottom of my back -- at my age I don't want to look too flash or be thought of as a painted lady."

Her previous tattoos of a Lancashire rose and hospice sunflower have been to raise money for Macmillan nurses and Rossendale Hospice.

Her husband, Jim, and sons Simon and Ricky, also joined in for the hospice tattoo. Jim is sports director at the bike show and the boys also help out each year.

Groom-to-be Simon said: "If everyone gives £1 we will raise £35,000 for charity. It's certainly not going to be a traditional wedding!"

Pip will lead the parade of more than 1,500 bikers to open the show and and she and Simon will marry in St Mary's Chambers in Rawtenstall before parading as man and wife on a trike.
