Rustington and the German town of Kunzell, near Frankfurt, have been twinned since 2002 and the children demonstrated the friendship by singing Stille Nacht and O Tannenbaum, led by musical director Tamsin Bunyard.

Ladies that Boogie had everyone’s toes tapping along to jazzed-up favourites, including Mary’s Boy Child and Let it Snow.

David Farrer-Brown, committee member, said: “The undoubted hit of the afternoon was the children’s version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, with actions and asides. This brought the house down and led to a standing ovation.”

The raffle and retiring collection raised £220 towards the cost of the Kunzell visit to Rustington next year.
