These special photographs capture the result of weeks of hard work for Bournemouth youngsters.

More than 650 children took part in the two-night memorable carol concert in 2001, organised by the Bournemouth School's Music Association.

More than 30 schools from across the town filled the Winter Gardens with festive favourites on December 5 and 6.

The Bournemouth Youth Orchestra and Bournemouth Youth Choir proved popular with the audience.
