THE Beatles and The Bay City Rollers joined Britney Spears and Gareth Gates at a star-studded performance in Shildon.

Parents, teachers and friends danced in the aisles and sang along as youngsters from Shildon Primary School appeared dressed as stars from throughout the years.

The children delighted the audience with their versions of Bye Bye Baby and Unchained Melody in their end-of-term production, called Top Idols, which was put together by learning support assistants Paula Henderson and Joanne Walsh.

Mrs Henderson said: "It was really good, especially the way the parents clapped and sang along. I am really proud of them all. They did really well."
