The performance was called 'Avengers: Lockdown' by the Kenilworth School Social Distancing Orchestra.

Robert Thompson, teacher of music and music technology at Kenilworth School and Sixth Form, said: "During lockdown, the children have, like all of us, been finding it difficult.

"However, extra-curricular music is a huge part of what they do at school, so we have tried to continue it in some form, to give them a sense of normality.

This is the product of 60 pupils' efforts, performing a piece that they have previously spent hours rehearsing together.

Mr Thompson said the school shared the video on VE Day which he said "seemed appropriate...celebrating heroes past and present."

He added: "As the spring concert had to be cancelled due to COVID-19, we are so happy that the pupils have been given an opportunity to perform for their community in some way."
