More than 500 children spent Easter Sunday hunting high and low for clues at the Lowestoft Lions annual Easter egg hunt in Sparrow's Nest Gardens.

With 40 clues to find in total, many children brought along parents and grandparents to help them complete the trail and win an egg.

Lions President Michael Cook said: 'It brings the families together - I'm very proud.

'It's nice to have a Lions event where you get so many young people and hopefully some of them will see the work we do and think about joining a service organisation.

'You get so much enjoyment out of events like this.'

Six-year-old Daisy Brentnall enlisted the help of her parents, grandparents and baby sister for her first ever Lions Easter egg hunt.

She said she enjoyed the hunt and the clues were 'easy to find' before adding that she was not hoping to win any particular egg, as long as it was chocolate.

Organised by Mark Lanham from the Lions, the event has grown from humble beginnings to become a permanent fixture in the club's calendar.

'It's got bigger and bigger,' he said. 'It gives children a chance to get parents and grandparents out round the park to collect their clues and they all enjoy it - it's brilliant.'

There were also a number of stalls selling food and crafts as well as a tombola and bouncy castles.
