All the best pictures from the Aberdeen Glee Challenge regional final

A champion school was crowned as Aberdeen's Glee Challenge regional final took place at the Music Hall last night.
The winners from the previous rounds came together for one final performance to decide who would be crowned the city's best..
There have been some fantastic performances from all of the schools involved across the heats.
But after a hotly-contested competition, those primary schools taking part in the final were Skene, Ashley Road, Fernielea, Elrick, and Seafield.
The big winner, after a night of 'Scottish contemporary pop and rock' ended up being the youngsters of Fernielea.
They will now go forward for the National Final, which will take place on June 22 at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh.
The competition is organised by the Frisson Foundation, which works to encourage primary school kids to get involved with music and the arts.
Our photographer Darrell Benns was there to capture all the action from the regional final.

Liam Gallagher's one word for Edinburgh Council at final Oasis gig at Murrayfield

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Liam Gallagher had one last statement for Edinburgh Council before wrapping up the third night of Oasis at Murrayfield. The 52-year-old was left 'raging' after fans of the band were labelled 'drunk, fat and old' in a leaked briefing. Across all three gigs and on social media, Liam made his feelings known, reports the Daily Record. On Tuesday night, Liam slammed the council chiefs for a third time, calling them 'ugly'. He added: "£3billion we've brought into this city over the past five days. And that's between you and us. Three billion f****** quid. "You won't see f*** all, because they'll rob it and spread it among their posh ugly mates. "Still waiting for our apology, bring it on down, you c****". This comes after the singer demanded an apology in a sweary rant at their first night at Murrayfield Stadium on Friday and called council chiefs "f****** slags". Then at Saturday's show, the Rock 'n' Roll star targeted the local authority again, saying they have "the cheek" to make comments about his fans. Back in June, one note from the council's briefing documents showed officials warning that "middle-aged men take up more room, consider this when working out occupancy".

One document also suggested there would be "medium to high intoxication" at the concert, and to expect a "substantial amount of older fans", but added there had been "minimal arrests" at recent events involving either of the Gallagher brothers. Oasis didn't take the comments lightly, with Liam saying at the time: "To the Edinburgh council I've heard what you said about Oasis fans and quite frankly your attitude f****** stinks. I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot." Around 67,000 people packed out the venue this evening in what some might say was a "biblical" and "truly magical" gig, with over 200,000 attending all three shows in total. Britpop act Cast from Liverpool and rocker Richard Ashcroft dazzled fans as Oasis' support acts before the Mancunian brothers took to the stage each night.

The Murrayfield shows followed similar reunion concerts in Cardiff, Manchester and London. The band will play their next UK and Ireland dates in Dublin this weekend. They'll kick off the North American leg on August 24, in Toronto, Canada before returning to the UK to wrap up the UK shows at Wembley on September 27 and 28.

Sturgeon on TV: Golden gal takes on brass neck. Who won?

But how would the golden gal of British broadcasting fare against the big brass neck of Scottish politics? Viewers turned to Nicola Sturgeon: the Interview to find out. 'The' interview suggested something special, but filming took place in Ayrshire ten days ago. Since then Ms Sturgeon has been all over the Murdoch press and every other branch of the media, her book picked cleaner than a turkey on Boxing Day. This, however, was the first broadcast interview, which meant the first chance to see Ms Sturgeon becoming 'emotional' as television folk coyly call it when someone cries on camera. Etchingham had dressed in cool neutrals for the occasion, with Sturgeon opting for a scarlet jacket. Perhaps she was trying to channel her inner Butlin's Redcoat to jolly things past the difficult stuff. It didn't work. Certainly there was no May-like confession to stealing from the pick n mix in Woolworths. She was rude about Nigel Farage ('odious'), but who isn't? Read More: When she did get into difficulty it was all her own doing, as when Etchingham brought up the rapist Isla Bryson. You might have thought it impossible for Sturgeon to make even more of a pig's ear out of this subject, but boy did she ever. Etchingham was looking at the former First Minister as if she was trying to argue that the Earth was flat. Personally, I turned the same shade as Sturgeon's jacket. Someone had to shoulder the embarrassment and it was not going to be our Nicola. There was some moistening around the eye area when she spoke of Alex Salmond's passing. She still misses him 'in some way' - a quote up there with Charles's 'whatever love means' - for half-baked sincerity. Julie Etchingham and Nicola Sturgeon discussed topics from independence to gender recognition reform (Image: ITV News) As for her new love life, her lips were sealed. 'I'm enjoying being my own person for a while,' she burbled, sounding for all the world like some Real Housewife of Montecito. Etchingham had a go at holding Sturgeon to account on domestic policy but nothing landed. She might as well have been on The One Show on BBC1, sandwiched between a soap star and an item on dodgy plumbers. The half hour running time and the 7pm slot told their own story. If there had been anything juicy the programme would have been on at 9pm, not just before Emmerdale. Upstaged by sheep. It shouldn't happen to a vet, or a former FM, but it did. The toe-curling was not quite over - there was still the matter of Nic's first tattoo. 'Midlife crisis alert,' she joked. You said it, dear. It was an infinity symbol she designed herself, something about strength and resilience and moving forward. In short, your basic woo-woo b******. Come to think of it, that would have been a better title for her book. Is it too late to change?
