A group which featured in the latest series of X-Factor performed at a school where the mother of one of the members works.

Brick City put on a “special assembly” at Riverley Primary School in Park Road, Leyton this afternoon.

Duane Lamonte’s mother Leona O'Garro works as a learning mentor at the school.

Jo Weakes, who also works at the school, said: “It showed the children what’s possible. It gave them hope that if they put the effort in they can live the dream.”
