A couple whose video diaries chronicled their dream to run a second-hand bookshop in Morecambe said they have had an amazing opening day.

Tori Smith and Paul Wakeling opened the doors to The Borrowed Book on Saturday after months of build-up in their regular video updates on social media.

The Borrowed Book is at 19 Pedder Street in the town centre and is full of preloved books to browse and buy.

"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who has been involved in whatever way big or small today!" said Tori and Paul in a Facebook update after their first day of trading.

"What an amazing day. It went by in a complete blur but you have all made us extremely happy to have gone ahead with this dream we had. It has become a reality today."

Tori and Paul's daily vlogs with their thoughts and updates ahead of opening The Borrowed Book, gained a large following on social media.

Their pet chihuahua Elvis Wilson and Arlo, a Cocker Spaniel, have also become stars of the video diaries.

Tori is a former primary school teacher who grew up in Morecambe and went to Morecambe High School, and Paul is an educational consultant and teacher.
