YOUNGSTERS in Bradford on Avon turned into super-sleuths for the town's annual egg hunt on Easter Monday.

Nearly 100 budding detectives searched the Victory Field in the town for clues to exchange for Easter eggs.

The annual event was started 20 years ago by Lion's Club member Philip Miller, who first saw the idea being played out in Central Park, New York.

The scramble to find eggs hidden around the recreation field each year is now called Miller Day and has become a favourite Easter activity for children in the town.

Lions spokesman Colin Brittain said: "It is a popular event and we had 400 eggs to give out to those who discovered this year's clues red coloured rawl plugs hidden all around the field.

"Two small red plugs won a small egg and a large grey wall-plug won a child one of the big Easter egg prizes."

Laura Metcalfe, 11, from Bradford on Avon had cause to celebrate when after five years of trying she won a large egg.
