VIDEO: Leeds hotel is taken over by youngsters

Children took over the running of Oulton Hall Hotel to mark the launch of a partnership with the NSPCC - as they aim to raise £300,000.

The group of youngsters were invited to help run the hotel for a day as they greeted guests on reception, made beds and stirred up a storm in the kitchen.
