NURSERY school children became VIPs for the day to open a supermarket.
Three-year-old Samuel Abbott and classmates from Kidzone nursery, in Crook, are pictured above with store manager Janine Lauder.
They were guests of honour at North Eastern and Cumbrian Co-op's store in North Terrace for a relaunch of the former Alldays shop, which has been given a £156,000 refurbishment.
To celebrate, the children were presented with £100 to spend in the shop.
