The group from the Woodlands Avenue school travelled to the arena last month as part of the Young Voices initiative.

The aim is to inspire the next generation to find a love for music.
The pupils from Spilsby Primary School had been rehearsing since September and last month joined a choir 5,000 voices strong.
A spokesman for the school said: “We all agree that it was one of the best things we have ever been involved in.
