Pharaohs made of sand

Harborough Mail

DELIGHTED youngsters revelled in the sand as the pyramids of ancient Egypt came to Lutterworth on Friday.

The town hall car park underwent a speedy transformation to become the desert, complete with Sphinx and pharaoh statues, as part of a special Egypt-themed event in the run-up to Lutterworth Feast Week.

In spite of cloudy, very un-Egyptian weather, dozens of children played in a huge sandpit as adults relaxed on deckchairs provided.
