Susan Boyle gets a standing ovation on the opening night of a musical about her life.

The singer was in Newcastle, along with fans from around the world, for I Dreamed A Dream.

It charts her life, from her childhood as part of a large family in West Lothian in Scotland to the moment she shot to stardom on ITV's Britain's Got Talent.

Snowballs, suicidal ducks and Susan Boyle CDs have all been blamed for damage to cars.

In the duck incident, a mallard flew clean through the windscreen of a woman's car, the Autoglass company reported.

The company was also called out last year to a driver who needed assistance after reporting he had cracked his windscreen using a Susan Boyle CD to scrape away ice.

In another case, a woman complained that "an evil pheasant" had stalked her and attacked her husband's car, while another driver needed help after accidentally firing his shotgun inside his vehicle.
