CORONATION Street favourites Roy and Haley - actors David Neilson and Julie Hesmondhalgh - took time out on Saturday to try out Camelot's latest hi-tech attraction.

The famous duo pulled on a pair of rollerblades, ready to launch the Chorley theme park's new Roller Quest - a challenging computer game on in-line skates - and the start of a new season.

The couple were led into the park on horseback in a spectacular parade led by King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

And if the breathtaking costumes weren't enough to attract the attention of watching crowds, David and Julie's antics on skates certainly did!

Roy's ballroom dancing lessons and Haley's amateur dramatics were put into practice as they became real-life computer characters.
