PANTOMIME children Danny Prested and Holly Robinson saw some familiar faces in the audience recently - about 200 fellow school pupils.

The ten-year-olds from Cheveley Park Primary School, in Belmont, Durham, are appearing in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Darlington Civic Theatre. And they were given a huge ovation when six coach loads of pupils from the school attended the show. Danny, who plays a dwarf, and dancer Holly took their own bow at the end of the performance, to a standing ovation.

Danny's mother, Heather, said: "Their classmates made banners which they were waving and it was just a brilliant experience for them."
