THREE Kings from put on a majestic performance of Christmas carols - and raised more than £100 for charity.

Unlike the three wise men from the east, the trio in this case didn’t have to travel too far when they sang favourite carols at neighbouring houses.

Sisters Rose, 15, and Cara King, 12, from Rhu, and their friend Thomas King, also 12 and no relation, from Mambeg on Garelochside, teamed up for a third year of carol singing.

They started carol singing just before Christmas, mainly around houses in Rhu, to raise money for Cancer Research and the PDSA.
