WINDOWS will be filled with pictures of mothers as a shopping centre gears up for Mothering Sunday.

Adams and BHS, in the Prince Bishops Centre, Durham, will showcase the art from school pupils across the district.

The centre's Put Mum in the Picture competition has attracted more than 400 entries

Mayor John Lightley will be this year's judge.

"I've seen the winning pictures from last year, and the standard for four and five-year-olds was very impressive," he said. "I'm looking forward to seeing this year's drawings and helping to choose a worthy winner."

The winning artist will get an outfit from Adams and their school a digital camera and photo printer.

Their mother will win an outfit worth up to £150 from Monsoon and a hair cut from Toni and Guy.

The manager of the centre, Richard Toynbee, said: "It will certainly be a great sight on Saturday when all of the drawings turn Prince Bishops into a gallery showcasing the local talent of Durham's school children.
