Hundreds of children across Cumbria put on their Pudsey ears, donned their favourite yellow outfit, and celebrated this year's Children in Need on Friday.

Children were excited to support Children in Need this year with News & Star readers sending in photos of their little ones all dressed up ready for tonight's appeal show.

On the appeal show, there'll be a Doctor Who special auction, performances from the Children in Need choir and Girls Aloud, BBC's Gladiators will be putting on a show, and so much more. 

The popular annual BBC campaign helps children across the country by providing funding to key organisations that make their lives brighter when they need it most.
