Shoppers at Hounslow's Treaty Centre got their hips gyrating as they tried to emulate a troupe of record-breaking hula hoopers.

Hoop La La's Bathing Beauties had youngsters in a spin as they showed off their skills to crowds at the shopping complex yesterday (Tuesday, July 29) before inviting them to have a go themselves.

The group, who shot to fame on ITV's Britain's Got Talent, were part of a free seaside-themed day of fun at the mall in Hounslow High Street.

Youngsters were also able to take part in a craft workshop, where they made crabs, ships and mini lighthouses to take home.

The fun day is the first in a series of free summer holiday fun at the Treaty Centre every Tuesday, which continuing next week with Punch and Judy shows at 12.30pm, 2pm and 3pm.

Work is progressing well on new Next and H&M stores at the shopping centre, which are due to open in time for Christmas.
