A SELECTION of poems entered into the Telegraph & Argus World War One children's poetry competition have been read out by pupils from the Stage 84 school of performing arts at a special event at the city's Kirkgate shopping centre.
The competition was announced in August on the 100th anniversary of the day Britain declared war against Germany.
The judging panel was headed by children's writer Hilary Robinson, and ten-year-old Kieran Harrison was crowned the overall winner with his poem written by a soldier to his mother, which tells how he killed another soldier in battle.
