FANS of screen star Shaun The Sheep had a woolly good time when he dropped into the Baa-runel Centre in Swindon.

The celebrity sheep, fresh from his own Hollywood blockbuster, is in town this week meeting young people at the centre.

Deputy centre manager, Jane Stewart, said there had been queues to meet the celebrity livestock throughout the day.

"We had hundreds of children here throughout the day and they were delighted and excited to meet Shaun," she said.

"He went down really well."

She said the children were also given a few extras which helped them make the most of the day.

Jane added: "They were given a Shaun The Sheep colouring-in page and an Easter lollipop too, so all in all, it went down very well and we had a steady stream of visitors all day."

Shaun will be out on his four legs again today to meet visitors, appearing at intervals from 10.30am.
