A lucky Worcester shopper will find herself up, up and away after entering a competition run jointly by the Worcester News and CrownGate.

Shirley Lapajne, of Lansdowne Road, will be flying high after scooping the top prize of £1,500 of Thomson holiday vouchers - to be spent on a dream getaway. The contest was staged over three Wednesdays in October in the Bell Square of the shopping arcade and attracted more than 1,000 entries.

A further 12 shoppers won £50 of CrownGate vouchers each, to be spent

in shops within the arcade.
