A special choir brought festive cheer to freezing shoppers in York.

The Hands and Voices choir and the Inclusive Music Project sang Christmas carols at Coppergate Centre today.

Many shoppers and tourists enjoying the festive season paused to listen to the seasonal music.

Every member of both groups is someone who has difficulty with everyday life because of disability, mental health or emotional health issues.

The two-hour busking was organised by Accessible Arts and Media of Sanderson House, Chapelfields, which has been running inclusive arts and creative media learning projects in the city for 37 years.
