Wallsend-born Sting, one of the world’s leading musical icons, is back in the North East today to perform at a unique concert event.

It is in support of the Dreamflight charity - benefitting local children with life limiting conditions.

The concert is being staged at Bamburgh Castle this evening.

Sting will play what is described as 'an exclusive, one off acoustic concert in the stunning surroundings of the King’s Hall'.

Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland has chosen Dreamflight as their nominated charity for 2017 and the concert will be the culmination of a year of fundraising efforts for the charity, which has included an abseil from the top of the castle.

It is not yet known which material Sting will perform, but here is a selection of some of his best known songs - both as a solo artist and as a member of The Police.

  • Fields of Gold

  • Every Breath You Take

  • Englishman in New York

  • Every Little Thing She Does is Magic
