SIX youngsters from Bury went 'potty' with excitement when they had the chance to meet Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men.

Nicola Baden, aged 5; Samantha Lancelott, aged 3 and her brother Ryan, aged 4, plus Hugo Bowden, Leah Walker and Jessica Sheriff, all aged 5, were among just 30 lucky children who attended the launch of the new range of Bill and Ben soft toys.

The children all won tickets to the party held at children's shop Daisy and Tom in Manchester.
