Helping make an "egg-stra" special celebration for older people in Glossop have been Dinting Scout group. 

The Beavers, Cubs and Scouts collected over 70 Easter eggs for elderly people across Glossopdale. 

They were presented at Glossop Age Concern's annual party, held at Bradbury Community House on Palm Sunday. 

It was the first time in two years that older residents have been able to enjoy the get-together, and all those attended were presented with daffodils and palm crosses. 

Joyce Brocklehurst, Chair of Age Concern in Glossop, said: “The scouts have supported us for a long time and collect the Easter Eggs for the older people and present them at the party. 

“It is a tradition with Age Concern for us to hold the party on Palm Sunday.”
