A taste of the BBC show Strictly Come Dancing came to East Lancashire when The Lancashire Telegraph hosted its annual tea dance.

Around 170 people poured into the Windsor Suite at King George's Hall, Blackburn, yesterday for an afternoon of dancing fun.

Ladies wore their dancing shoes and best attire, and many couples got into the festive spirit by wearing tinsel and Christmas paper hats.

The event featured modern sequence dancing, a raffle and christmas crackers.
