Dancers are celebrating after completing a 24-hour dance marathon for charity.

The dancers, students at Hild Bede College in Durham City, entertained audiences in Durham Market Place with dances including the cha-cha, rumba, jive and pasadoble.

All money raised by the event will go to St Cuthbert's Hospice.

Marie-Yianna Kalekas, who organised the event, said: "We are absolutely exhausted, but it was certainly worth it."

The event ended yesterday afternoon, when the Mayor of Durham, Councillor George Cowper, joined the dancers on stage.

The danceathon was part of the national Go Yellow appeal, which aims to raise awareness of the hospice movement
