ARTISTIC pupils at a Haltwhistle school have raised £400 in memory of tragic football fan Bradley Lowery.

The six-year-old Sunderland supporter, from Blackhall Colliery in County Durham, died on July 7, after losing his battle against neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of cancer.

The Bradley Lowery Foundation was set up by the youngster's family to help other sick children.

Year 3 and 4 pupils at Haltwhistle First School sold their art work during an online auction sale to raise money for the foundation.

The theme for the artwork was 'expressions of colour' and featured wax crayons, melted with a hair dryer, to form a liquid used to create colour explosions on canvas.

Head of first school Suzie Drake said: "The artwork proved very popular in school, so we decided to sell it in aid of this very worthy cause.

"We have been amazed at the success of the auction and are grateful to everyone who supported us."
