YOUNG performers donned costumes and took on political themes as day two of Rock Challenge 2019 took place in Southampton last night.

Southampton secondary school St Anne's took top honours in last night's event.

The school's production of Face Your Fear wowed the judges at a packed Southampton Guildhall.

Second place went to The Hamble School with their rendition of  Journey of a Peddler - Lance Armstrong
