PUPILS at a Darlington school put more than 150 elderly people in the Christmas mood with a slap-up meal and party.
Students from Longfield School invited local pensioners to join them for food and entertainment during a festive party.
All pupils from the school donated items of food and small gifts which were made into Christmas hampers and given out as prizes for their guests during the party.
The event was organised by 15 year 10 GNVQ health and social care students, and as part of their course they were required to order and present the meal.
Head of food technology, Beverley Clifton, said: "This was a real success and we are proud of all the pupils who donated gifts and those who organised the event."
