Pudsey Bear has visited local schools in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire on Children in Need day.

He proved a big hit with pupils and staff at the primary schools in Grimsby, Hessle, Ulceby, Cleethorpes and Skegness.

Many teachers and students got into the swing of things by having a "spots day", dressing in yellow outfits to raise money for Children in Need.

Pudsey also had a chance to stretch out on Cleethorpes beach.
