CHILDREN (and pets!) across the region marked Christmas Jumper Day.

The Save the Children fundraiser event was held on Friday, December 10.

Youngsters getting into the charity but festive spirit included Lilian aged six who posed proudly in her reindeer knit by a Christmas tree.

Joshua, aged three, was all smiles in his jazzy jumper and Marshall, aged five, showcased snowmen!
