CHILDREN at Darlington Memorial Hospital got into the festive spirit yesterday with a visit from the stars of a pantomime.

Snow White, Sooty and some of Snow White's dwarfs and dancers visited the hospital children's ward to brighten the day for the poorly youngsters.

Many of the children will be spending Christmas in hospital and will miss the production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Darlington Civic Theatre, so some of the cast decided to visit the ward to cheer them up.
