Carlisle was in pop heaven as chart-toppers 911 rolled back the years in the newly-reopened Old Fire Station.

Led by Carlisle's own Lee Brennan, the three-piece boyband played to a raucous audience tonight.

The gig was of the first events held in Rickergate venue since it was flooded out during Storm Desmond.

And the show, named 911: The Party, lived up its billing, kicking off with Party People...Friday Night.

People travelled from the far corners of the country to catch a glimpse of 90s sensations, with eager fans commuting from as far north as Edinburgh and as south as Somerset for the performance.
