A SELL-OUT crowd joined a jubilee celebration of Darlington's history.

The Late Late Jubilee Show at Darlington Civic Theatre took a light-hearted trip around the town during the five decades of the Queen's reign.

Presented by Coun Roderick Burtt and Alan Cowie, the show used projected archive images, humour and songs to depict each decade.

Musical numbers, including Abba's Dancing Queen, were performed by pupils from Polam Hall School, Carmel Technology College, Abbey Junior School, and Heighington and Bishopton primary schools

As well as enjoying the sketches and songs, the audience helped to raise money charity.

All proceeds from ticket sales have been donated to the Giving for Life appeal for St Teresa's Hospice in Darlington, the Giving Tree Appeal and Rotary charities.
