HUNDREDS of children raised their voices while singing together at the Colchester Schools Prom.

The annual event was held at Charter Hall in Colchester, and 16 schools took part.

The concert was organised for the 31st time by Montgomery Infant School and Nursery headteacher, Sally Leung - this is also the 39th concert she has been involved in.
