Fans queue for hours to see Ronan Parke in Norwich
Fans of Norfolk popstar Ronan Parke screamed the house down yesterday when the 13-year-old visited the city to sign copies of his debut album.
The youngster from Poringland met fans and signed copies of his self-titled album which was released on Monday.
Fans queued for nearly four hours at the HMV store in Gentleman's Walk.
First in the queue was 11-year-old Gabby Boon from Tuckswood, who said: 'I like Ronan because he is a good singer.
'When I see him I am going to say hi. I am so excited; I have never met him before.
'I voted for him on Britain's Got Talent. My favourite song from the album is Forget You.'
Ronan's album was number 19 in the midweek chart on Wednesday.
