Fourteen lottery winners from Yorkshire and north-east England have brought a splash of colour to a lido.

Six planters and nine hanging baskets were built and planted out during the six-hour project, organised by Camelot. "The carpentry work was done by four of the volunteers: Aldan Ibbetson, Graham Norton, Michael Crossland and Gary Henry," she said. One of the volunteers, Elaine Thompson from Newcastle, who won £2.7m in 1995, said the aim was to make it look lovely."It doesn't matter what you've got in the bank - it matters what you do in society," she said. "I think everybody should give back."
