A cheerleading group, which trains in Musselburgh, were placed 10th in the world cheerleading championship in America - for the second year running.

Black Diamond runs a competitive All Star cheerleading programme with more than 170 athletes, aged three to 30, based at Musselburgh East Community Learning Centre on Haddington Road.

Classes are also held at Penicuik and Liberton.

The team travelled to the the prestigious The Summit Championship in Orlando, Florida, at the end of April.

Natalie Samuel, who coaches alongside her mum Gill, the founder of Black Diamond Cheerleaders in 2008, said: "We competed against 38 other teams and are now 10th in the world. That’s two years in a row we have been summit finalists and came 10th.

"This is such an amazing achievement for a small club like ours. Competing against teams from across the world - USA, Canada, Sweden, Wales, England, Germany to name a few."
