FOUR competition winners were celebrating winning £50 vouchers for some of the city's top stores, thanks to the Evening News and the Lychgate Shopping Centre.

The competition, which was launched in the Evening News in February, asked readers to complete a wordsearch.

And the lucky winners - the first four correct entries from more than 650 in total - won vouchers for The Edinburgh Woollen Mill, Sainsbury's, Thorntons or Inspirations hairdressing.

The presentation was made outside the shopping centre.

Inspirations' Naomi Hemming handed a £50 cheque to Cynthia Soley, from Malvern, and Anna Thompson, from The Edinburgh Woollen Mill, gave a voucher for the same amount to another winner, Joan Saunders, from Worcester.

The other two successful entrants - both from Worcester - were unable to attend the presentation, but will receive their prizes in the post.
