Children at a Didcot Railway Centre enjoyed a visit from a pair of cartoon dogs at the weekend.

Cartoon canines Bluey and Bingo, popular figures from a children's animated series which originated in Australia, were at the centre on Saturday, July 20.

The young visitors were entertained by readings of Bluey and Bingo stories, before they got the chance to meet the characters.

Five-year-old Melanie shares a resemblance with the character from the New Zealand book series.

The next event at Didcot Railway Centre will be a day of performances of The Railway Children.

There will be two performances presented by Tethered Wits, at 1pm and 3pm on August 2.
