ON FRIDAY the annual Children in Need event takes place.
Every year in November Children in Need is broadcast by the BBC to raise money for charities that help children in the UK.
The show includes comedy, drama and music, with celebrity guests popping up to lend a hand and raise as much money as possible.
The Children in Need event has been held annually since 1980, making 2024 the 43rd year of the appeal. 
In this picture, taken in 2011, members of Fitness First in Victoria Road, Eccleshill, took part in a Zumba marathon to raise cash for the event.
It was organised by ND Dance Academy and Total Dance UK>
It looks like great fun was had by all. Maybe you were there to Zumba the night away
