Two North Walsham youngsters who are best friends are having their heads shaved for charity.
Lilly and Libby (no surname given), now 10, have known each other since reception and are best friends.
On Sunday, June 8, they are planning to have their hair shaved off for Make-A-Wish UK, a charity that grants life-changing wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions.
The girls said in a message on their fundraising page: 'Thank you so much for all your sponsors, it's so cool to have your support and to know we are all making a difference to at least one poorly child's life.
'Let's keep sharing so we smash our target.'

'It's not often you have two 10 year olds who want to shave their hair off for such a charitable cause. Lilly and Libby are such beautiful souls.'
