PUPILS at Soham Village College filled Ely Cathedral for the school's biggest ever annual carol concert.
Some 350 performers, including staff and former pupils, took part and principal Dr Carin Taylor said the evening was a great success.

Highlights of the concert included a performance of Derek Hobbs' Greatest Show on Earth, sung by a large proportion of the school's year 7 students, and solos from Jackson Mathod, Naomi Rogers, Emma Fowler, Madeleine Hickish, Annabel Gipp and James Holden.
