CUSTOMERS at Ebbw Vale's factory shopping centre were seeing pink spots before their eyes this weekend.

For items of pink clothing were worn by every member of staff at the Festival Park centre's shops on Saturday.

Workers decided to hold the pink day to raise cash for Breast Cancer Research.

Manager Ian Williams said the centre was also decorated with pink banners, ribbons and balloons.

Collection boxes were placed around the centre and pink wristbands were also on sale.

"Everyone has really got into the spirit of things - it's a fantastic response," he said. "Staff in every shop are wearing pink items of clothing, whether it's trousers or tops, or a shirt or tie.

"Someone is even wearing pink pyjamas!"

Mr Williams, who donned a pink tie, added it was the first time the centre had held this event, but he is hoping it will become an annual fundraiser.
