The County Durham hotel where Prince William and Prince Harry both sang karaoke - but we don't know if the Spin Doctors featured on the playlist...

It was 20 years ago this month that Prince Harry belted out a tune at the Crossways Hotel in Thornley.

He did it three years after his brother Prince William did the same.

The Crossways Hotel opened in 1977 and replaced the old Half Way House at Thornley, offering first-class hotel facilities after a £200,000 investment.

In April 2000, William and 40 of his fellow students from Eton School spent three nights at the venue as part of an annual geography field trip.

Belting out a rendition of YMCA

It seems William made the most of his time in East Durham, impressing staff with his impeccable table manners and even proving a dab hand at the karaoke. Apparently, he belted out the 70s disco classic YMCA.

Three years later, and 20 years ago this month, Prince Harry made the same trip and also starred on the karaoke.

But what did he sing and were you there when he sang?

Fond memories of the 50-50 disco

The Crossways is remembered fondly by many people.

In 1983, the hotel had an over-25s 50-50 disco or you could enjoy a supper and dinner dance with dancing to the Crossways Trio.

In 1996, the hotel had live entertainment including Gofy's Road Show, and the Flying Emperors.

The Crossways was eventually demolished and made way for a housing development, having hosted everything from discos to weddings.
