Superstar Robbie Williams has congratulated a Norfolk schoolboy who built a Lego model of one of his concerts.

Nine-year-old Callum Boldero spent weeks modelling the stage where the singer performed an open-air concert in Hyde Park in the summer.

And after his mum tweeted a picture to the former Take That star, she was astonished to receive a reply saying: "Now that's genuinely epic - take a bow son."

The model and tweet were shown to pupils at assembly at Howard Junior School, in King's Lynn, which Callum attends this morning. "It took about a month to build," he said. "My mum loves Robbie, so does my dad, so we just decided we wanted to do a tribute to him."

The model includes Robbie and the band on stage, backed by a video screen. There are lights and sound effects, with a crowd of around 100 tiny revellers. There are even portable toilets - one of which is in use.

Callum admitted he and dad Chris are very fond of building things out of the much-loved plastic bricks.

"We've built a big skyscraper that can touch the garage ceiling," he said. "It's about 8ft."

School head Gregory Hill said: "He drives his mum nuts. He and his dad have built a whole Lego room."

Callum added: "Sir, we've done a deal with mum. She can have the house if we can have the garage." Callum and his school friends have a dedicated Lego Classroom at Howard Junior, led by teacher Chris Copeman.

"It's about STEM, engineering skills and it helps teach children problem solving skills," he said.

Pupils are working on a model of the Houses of Parliament in one corner of the room.

Beneath Mr Copeman's desk, a giant Tower Bridge sits in its box, waiting for Callum and his friends to get stuck in.

Elsewhere the classroom - believed to be the only one in the county - is packed with bricks, models and character costumes children can dress up in.

"I really think more schools should get into Lego," said Mr Hill.
