The Darkness have made a surprise visit at their old school to open a new music centre. According to the Sun, Justin and Dan Hawkins and Ed Graham were all present for the opening at Kirkley High School in Lowestoft, Suffolk. They presented the music centre with Ed's first drum kit and two guitars.

Deputy head Hazel Johnson told the tabloid: "It was absolutely wonderful to see our ex-students who have been so successful. I had a fabulous afternoon talking to them. I haven't seen them since they left. We talked about their lives and how things have moved on."

The music centre visit was just one part of a busy day for Justin. After the school trip he and his mother Sandy went to the nearby Suffolk Wildlife Park to meet a baby giraffe that was named after him earlier this year.
