YOUNGSTERS raised their voices and the roof during a well-attended Christmas carol service staged at Bury Parish Church.

Around half a dozen schools took part in the popular festive event, organised by Ramsbottom Music Festival.

And pictured are three of the young singers (from left): India Naylor (10), of Holcombe Brook primary school; Carl Service (10), of Whitefield primary and Bromwyn Payne (8), of St Mary's primary, Hawkshaw.

Parents, staff and other children watched the concert which comprised a programme of favourite Christmas carols.

The festive event proved very popular and provided a real flavour of Christmas.
