A Pickering teenager sang her way to second place in a talent competition. Grace Shoobridge, aged 15, wowed the judges with her version of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" at North Yorkshire Police's Community Idol in Harrogate Royal Hall. The competition attracted youngsters from all over the county with 18 making it through to the final in front of a 300 strong audience. "I was speechless and thrilled to get second prize", said the Lady Lumley's pupil, who took home an iPod Nano. The winner of the Community Idol competition was Aimee Barratt, of Selby. Sergeant Jane Guymer, of North Yorkshire Police, said: "This was a fantastic event that was enjoyed by competitors and audience alike. All of the hard work and effort that went into the organisation of this year's competition was well worth it."
