In Church Stretton, Embrey's butchers have been selling Pudsey burgers for 75p each to raise cash for the annual event.

The butcher has supplied the meat for the burgers while staff offered labour to make the 500 tasty treats.

And the big switch-on of Telford Shopping Centre's Christmas lights at 6pm tonight will help to support Children in Need, with a special guest appearance from Pudsey Bear.

The televised section of Children in Need will hit the screens from 7pm on BBC1.

Among the events being screened will be performances from Girls Aloud and Take That and a special edition of Strictly Come Dancing. The seven-hour BBC1 show will also see McFly perform their Children in Need song, Do Ya.
