Stagecoach

Elliot Allinson (formerly of Darlington Friday School and Boys Only Dance) and Annabelle Crosby (Darlington Saturday AM school)  were invited by Stagecoach Head Office to attend the launch of the “Stagecoach Children`s Awards” in the Houses of Parliament. Elliot and Annabelle were chosen because of their West End success in “Oliver” and “Billy Elliot”.  While they were there, they were introduced to Ed Vaisey the Shadow Arts Minister who was hosting the awards launch in the Terrace Pavilion of the House of Commons. They are pictured below with Linda Bellingham, a well known actress and her son, also an actor, Michael Peluso and another actress - Linda Barron - best known for her role as Nurse Gladys Emmanuel on “Open All Hours” and Ed Vaisey mentioned above.

Both students said that they had enjoyed their special day particularly because they were the only child guests there.
