Bernie Nolan's dazzling career in pictures

One of the six charming Nolan sisters, Bernie Nolan has had an impressive career spanning four decades, both as the lead singer of The Nolans and as a solo artist.

Bernie demonstrated extraordinary and varied talent, singing disco favourite I'm In The Mood For Dancing, serenading us with power ballads on her solo album, and belting out classical music on Popstar to Operastar.

She has also graced the stage in pantomimes and theatre and on our TV screens in police drama The Bill and in Liverpool soap opera Brookside.
