WE would like to thank The Northern Echo for the prize we won in your World Cup Get Your Flags Out promotion (Echo, June 24).

We won a night staying in the executive suite with a three-course evening meal and breakfast at the Aston Hotel, Newton Park, Coatham Mundeville, near Darlington.

What a lovely time we had. The food was very good, the room was perfect and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Thanks to all for a lovely time.
