Easter bunnies are the special guests at an animal lovers' event on Sunday.

Gwen Butler, who runs Richmond's Bunny Burrows rabbit re-homing sanctuary, organised the Hot Cross Bunny Day to raise funds and awareness of animal issues.

Some of Mrs Butler's charges will be at the event in the market hall, from 10am to 4pm, along with book and crafts stalls, and tombola.

There is also a demonstration by a woman who grooms her own rabbits, spins the fur into yarn and makes scarves, which are for sale at the event.

Tesco has provided buns and Tetley's has donated teabags for the day, which is opened by Richmond's aptly-named mayor, Councillor Tom Burrows.
