Baltic beauty Hannah Ild met up with students at the North School to talk tourism, technology and tales of Estonia.

The country’s capital Tallinn was recently named European City of Culture 2011 and the singing superstar is touring the UK to raise awareness of her country.

She said: “To represent such a small but amazingly beautiful country is an honour for me. I carry the country with me wherever I am and Estonia is a mystical place.

“It’s a great country for finding some quiet time and you can walk through our historical medieval capital and pop into our small shops.

“I’ve worked with children’s charities a great deal back home and it’s great that I’ve now been given the opportunity to share with people what a great country Estonia is.”

The 28-year-old also performed her latest single to pupils during her visit last Wednesday.

She added: “Pop music is great for bringing people together and I can’t wait to meet with more British children and share my passion for my home country with them.”
