Teachers Nicola Burton and Catherine White wanted Gary Barlow to make an appearance as they prepare to leave the school.

A campaign to get Take That star Gary Barlow to a school in Gateshead has succeeded - with the singer helping to bid a special farewell to two teachers.

Lobley Hill Primary School teachers Nicola Burton and Catherine White wanted Gary Barlow to make an appearance as they prepare to leave the school.

The teachers had organised school trips to Take That concerts since they started 13 and 8 years ago.

Although it only went live on Monday, a #GetGarytoLobley online campaign attracted plenty of attention on both facebook and twitter.

And this lunchtime the singer made it the 'Greatest Day' for staff and pupils.
