ST Cuthbert’s Church in Darwen has unveiled 13-year-old Lucy Caton as its new rose queen.

Last year’s queen Eleanor Tomlin, 14, raised more than £1,500 for charity during her term. She handed over a cheque to East Lancashire Hospice for £1,521, which had been raised through a variety of events.

Hospice fundraiser Kimberley Hall, who received the cheque, said: “We thank Eleanor for choosing the hospice as her charity during her term as rose queen.”
