Glee fever hits York as songsters stop by (VIDEO)

IT WAS a school trip soaked in harmonic bliss. Children from a York primary school treated shoppers and tourists to a repertoire of song as they marched through the city.

Their destination was the Jorvik Viking Centre where they continued with their programme of specially-commissioned songs as part of a scheme to get children singing.

The 30 pupils of Wigginton Primary School were taking part in Sing Up, the National Singing Programme, and arrived by open top bus from their school, before walking to the centre, singing as they went.

The Jorvik Viking Centre is the fifth stop on a nationwide tour of the UK's best loved heritage sites and museums, including Stonehenge and the Eden Project in Cornwall.
