Two schoolgirls have recorded a new version of a hit song to show support for NHS staff.

Twins Kiya and Aria Fuggle, 12, have put their musical talents to good use and recorded their own take on Shine, from the film Rock and Royals - against a backdrop of images of doctors and nurses.

Kiya and Aria Fuggle's reworked version of 'Shine'

The sisters live in Ashford but attend St Anselm’s Catholic school in Canterbury.

They have written new lyrics in praise of health workers caring for patients during the coronavirus outbreak.

The girls’ dad Lee said: "They worked really hard on the song and wanted to show NHS staff how much they understand the difficult situation they find themselves in.

"They wanted to do something to say thank you to the doctors and nurses across East Kent's hospitals and to let them know they were thinking of them."

The lyrics normally reflect the film character’s fears about letting her true self shine.

Now their version has had hundreds of views on YouTube.

The sisters have re-written the words to include the lines: 'We’re working as one to save everyone and everyone’s relying on us, cos we are on the frontline helping you to get well.

'What if we back down now cos we’re afraid of what might happen?

'What if we turn away when the people really need us most?

'What if we lose our breath and we have to be looked after?

'Or tonight, every night, what if we shine?'
