Harrogate was country number 78 and Capri’s appearance in the Royal Hall on Saturday night was no ordinary performance.

“Our trip so far has been incredible and has exceeded our expectations in terms of all the amazing people we have met.”
The Everitts were visiting Harrogate only briefly, having travelled up for London as part of their global adventure.
Among the places the Everitts have visisted so far are India, the Philippines Scandanavia and South Africa.
On their epic journey, the family have stayed at 35 different SOS Children's Villages around the world.
