PROVIDING the best in entertainment and more importantly making millions for charity, this year's Red Nose Day was another resounding success.

The Comic Relief fundraising initiative offers some incredible prizes for those who take part in special draws before March 29, including Taylor Swift concert tickets, an Aston Martin Vanquish and a chance to win Claudia Winkelman's Traitors faux fur coat.

Here are some pictures of some Red Nose events that took place here in Inverclyde in years gone by.
