THEY may look terrifying, but these ‘zombies’ were raising money for charity.

Blackburn College media make-up and hair students organised a zombie walk in aid of the Sophie Lancaster Foundation.

They walked around the college campus and The Mall, collecting money for the charity.

Ruth Moulden, lecturer for media make-up, said: “Ever since Sylvia Lancaster visited Blackburn College to talk about the prejudice felt by some subcultures, as well as Sophie’s story, my students felt moved to take part in an event to raise not only funds for the Foundation but also awareness.”

She added the zombie walk could become an annual event.
