THE winners of the Darlington Queen Street Centre's Christmas competitions have been presented with their prizes.

Joe Phillips, four, Sophie Carvell, nine, and Louise Callender, 13, each won £10 of Thorntons chocolates in the Christmas colouring competition.

Rory Fleming, Queen Street Centre manager, said: "The standard of entries was so high it was very difficult selecting the winners.

"I would also like to thank Thorntons for providing the prizes."

Mr Fleming also handed over £1,000 worth of gift vouchers to Jean Surtees of Barnard Castle - the winner of the Queen Street Alpha 103.2 radio competition.
